There are few data on Crassostrea virginica physiological rates across the range of salinities
and temperatures to which they are regularly exposed, and this limits the applicability of …

In coastal temperate regions such as the Baltic Sea, calcifying bivalves dominate benthic
communities playing a vital ecological role in maintaining biodiversity and nutrient recycling …

For blue mussels, Mytilus edulis, one major constrain in the Baltic Sea is the low salinities
that reduce the efficiency of mussel production. However, the effects of living in low and …
