Mytilus edulis, Cerastoderma edule and Aequipecten opercularis were found to ingest
zooplankton when suspended in mesh cages in the water column in the Firth of Clyde …

Integrating mussel and finfish aquaculture has been recognized as a way to increase profits
and decrease environmental impacts of finfish aquaculture, but not enough is known about …

Ingestion of bivalve larvae by Mytilus edulis was investigated. Laboratory experiments
revealed that~ 90% of bivalve larvae offered to mussels was ingested and apparently fully …

The spatial and temporal variability of phytoplankton were investigated in the southern
Adriatic Sea in the period November 2006–June 2008. Three stations were sampled along …

While the stock of introduced Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) increased in the
Oosterschelde estuary (SW Netherlands), so did the filtration pressure of all bivalve species …

Introduced Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas have expanded rapidly in the Dutch
Oosterschelde estuary, while stocks of native bivalves declined slightly. As a consequence …

Predation by adult bivalves on bivalve larvae has been suggested to reduce larval
abundance in areas with high bivalve filter-feeder biomass. Although the occurrence of …

Many bivalves have a major effect on their environment either directly or indirectly and are
thus important ecosystem engineers or foundation species (Gutiérrez et al. 2003; Newell …

The biological response of mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis, resident and transplanted to
cages, to contamination with anthropogenic pollutants from Kaštela Bay, located in the …

Fine spatial and temporal phytoplankton variability in Mali Ston Bay has been observed for
the first time based on physicochemical properties and small herbivorous zooplankton …
