  1. 1. Mussel farming along the south-Swedish coasts - a possible solution to eutrophication?

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : David Trulsson; [2023]
    Keywords : Mussel farming; Aquaculture; Spatial suitability analysis; Eutrophication; Baltic Sea; Biology and Life Sciences; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : The concept of mussel farming as a mitigator to nutrient pollution is steadily spreading. The southernmost part of Sweden borders the Baltic Sea where the water quality differs between the costs, however, all are affected by eutrophication. READ MORE

  3. 2. Replacement of fish protein in fish feed : effects on the yeast flora in the gut of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Hanna Rydmark; [2023]
    Keywords : Microbiota; Saccharomyces cerevisiae; fishmeal; mussel meal; Mytilus edulis; aquaculture;

    Abstract : The aim with this study was to investigate how feeds with different protein sources influence the levels and composition of the yeast flora in the gut of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus). Arctic charr were fed for two weeks on a control diet (C) with fishmeal (FM) or experimental diets with 40% FM replaced by yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) (Y), meal from blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) (M) or a feed with Baltic Sea originated protein; 33% FM, 33% mussel meal (MM) and 33% S.

  4. 3. Algal toxins in the Baltic blue mussel (Baltic Mytilus trossulus edulis) : spatiotemporal variations in the Baltic Sea

    University essay from SLU/Dept. Of Aquatic Resources

    Author : Maya Ahlgren; [2021]
    Keywords : algal toxins; Mytilus trossilus edulis;

    Abstract : Algal toxins have been found to bioaccumulate and have a seasonal variation over the summer months in marine biota. This can impact the food web through trophic transfer and the potential of using blue mussels for aquaculture. READ MORE

  5. 4. Is blue mussel farming a potential mitigation tool to combat eutrophication in the Baltic Sea? A synthesis based on stakeholder interviews

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Emilija Zilinskaite; [2019]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Baltic Sea; Baltic Sea Region; eutrophication; blue mussel farming; circular economy;

    Abstract : The Baltic Sea is the most polluted sea in the world. Its hydrological conditions and ongoing eutrophication are a high threat for marine biodiversity and ecosystems. Additionally, eutrophication has negative effects on the wellbeing of countries and their societies in the Baltic Sea Region (BSR). READ MORE

  6. 5. Baltic blue mussel (Mytilus edulis L.) and black soldier fly (Hermetia. illucens) combined with pea protein concentrate as protein sources in feed for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

    Author : Xiaoqing Cui; [2019]
    Keywords : aquaculture; rainbow trout; Baltic blue mussel; black solider fly larvae; digestibility; protein; fishmeal replacement;

    Abstract : A feeding trial was conducted for 9 weeks to test the growth performance, nutrient retention and digestibility in rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) in order to assess the potential of Baltic blue mussel meal (Mytilus edulis L) and black solider fly larvae (Hermetia illucens) meal as protein sources. The dietary treatments consisted of one control diet based on high quality fishmeal, one control diet based on pea protein concentrate for testing dietary palatability and two fishmeal-free experimental diets where approximately 20% of the crude protein from the fishmeal was replaced with the protein from either de-shelled blue mussel meal or larvae meal on a dry matter basis.
