Microplastics (MP) are a contaminant of emerging concern and, as such, there has been a
rush to action and publication. Over the past two decades, this haste has resulted in a …

Bivalves, such as clams and oysters, are species having two-valved shells. In the marine
ecosystem these species play a unique and essential role. This book examines the ecology …

A fundamental knowledge of bivalve feeding behavior is a minimum requirement for
understanding how aquaculture interacts with the surrounding ecosystem. The potential …

Coastal ocean acidification is expected to interfere with the physiology of marine bivalves. In
this work, the effects of acidification on the physiology of juvenile mussels Mytilus …

Effects of coastal ocean acidification, other than calcification, were tested on juvenile clams
Ruditapes decussatus during a controlled CO 2 perturbation experiment. The carbonate …

Suspended mussel aquaculture has been proposed as a possible mechanism by which to
remove excess nutrients from eutrophic marine areas. In this study, seasonal mussel growth …

The capabilities of bivalve molluscs to feed selectively have been well documented, and
physicochemical properties of particles have been implicated as possible factors in the …

Fish feed waste enhancement of the particulate food supply and performance of mussels
Mytilus edulis suspended near salmon cages at an integrated multi-trophic aquaculture …

Growth performance, allometry, condition index, and biochemistry of mussel (Mytilus
galloprovincialis Lmk.) cultured in a submerged longline system were investigated from …

The effects of seawater acidification caused by increasing concentrations of atmospheric
carbon dioxide (CO 2), combined with other climatic stressors, were studied on 3 coastal …
