Since the 1960's, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has been introduced for mariculture at
several locations within NW Europe. The oyster established itself everywhere and expanded …

This review examines the biology of the two main cockle species Cerastoderma edule and
C. glaucum found in coastal areas around the north-east Atlantic from Norway to Morocco …

Ingestion, growth and metamorphosis of Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, larvae were
studied under controlled conditions of food density and temperature using a combination of …

Mussel culture largely depends on seed and feed from the natural environment. This paper
focusses on seed provisioning and efficient use of these resources in mussel production …

The offspring of most highly fecund marine fish and shellfish suffer substantial mortality early
in the life cycle, complicating prediction of recruitment and fisheries management. Early …

Under climate change, increased temperatures combined with food limitation may be critical
for species with complex life cycles, if high growth rates characterize the larval development …

This study summarizes the activities and findings during a 2 year investigation on the grow-
out of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) and the technical requirements to withstand harsh …

The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas was introduced in Europe for commercial purposes in
the mid 1960s. It was initially thought that low winter temperatures would restrain this …

The common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) plays an important role in marine ecosystems
and represents a valuable socioeconomic resource for coastal communities. In 2012, the …

Larval transport and settlement have been shown in various studies to be essential in
determining population abundance and connectivity for benthic invertebrates. This transport …
