Consideration of whether to completely remove an oil and gas production platform from the
seafloor or to leave the submerged jacket as a reef is an imminent decision for California, as …

Physiology corrupts geochemical records of mollusk shells in many ways, eg, by actively
controlling the incorporation of trace elements in the skeleton. However, the effects of …

Marine aquaculture presents an opportunity for increasing seafood production in the face of
growing demand for marine protein and limited scope for expanding wild fishery harvests …

Climate change is an immediate and future threat to food security globally. The
consequences for fisheries and agriculture production potential are well studied, yet the …

Secondary (ie, heterotrophic or animal) production is a main pathway of energy flow through
an ecosystem as it makes energy available to consumers, including humans. Its estimation …

We measured annual shell growth rates of a 374-year-old (radiometrically confirmed)
bivalve mollusk specimen of Arctica islandica (Linnaeus). This bivalve represents the oldest …

In the past decade, theoretical ecologists have emphasized that local interactions between
predators and prey may invoke emergent spatial patterning at larger spatial scales …

Mussel seed, obtained from the intertidal zone and permanently immersed collector ropes,
was cultivated on ropes suspended from three rafts located at three different sites within the …

Bivalve molluscs have a highly plastic feeding and growth physiology. The increasing
availability of families artificially selected for faster growth has enabled physiological …

An increasing body of research has demonstrated the often idiosyncratic responses of
organisms to climate‐related factors, such as increases in air, sea and land surface …
