In contrast to the increasing aquaculture production of mussels worldwide, production in the
European Union (EU) has shown a decreasing trend over the last two decades. Aquaculture …

The substantial loss of seed mussels during the early stages of longline aquaculture—often
exceeding 95%—is a major issue that erodes the security and profitability of production …

While the UK is the fourth largest aquaculture producer in Europe by volume, it is the second
largest by value with an annual first sale value of around£ 1 billion. Over 90% of this value is …

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 …

Background Throughout the world, harvesting of mussels Mytilus spp. is based on the
exploitation of natural populations and aquaculture. Aquaculture activities include transfers …

Blue mussels from the genus Mytilus are an abundant component of the benthic community,
found in the high latitude habitats. These foundation species are relevant to the aquaculture …

The smooth-shelled blue mussel, Mytilus edulis is part of the Mytilus species complex,
encompassing at least three putative species: M. edulis, Mytilus galloprovincialis, and …

Blue mussels (Mytilus sp.) are an economically important species for European aquaculture.
Their importance as a food source is expected to increase in the coming net-zero society …

The expansion of mussel aquaculture is limited by the availability of spat and production on
land is dependent on costly cultures of microalgae as feed. Substitution of algae with …

Artificial propagation of lampreys was first developed to produce specimens for the study of
evolutionary development in vertebrates. In recent years, artificially propagated larvae have …
