  1. 16. Mussels in deep water with climate change: Spatial distribution of mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) growth offshore in the French Mediterranean with respect to climate change scenario RCP 8.5 Long Term and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA) using Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) modelling

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Victoria Persson; [2022]
    Keywords : Geography; Geographical Information Systems; GIS; Physical Geography; Mediterranean; Mytilus galloprovincialis; Dynamic Energy Budget; DEB; growth rate; France; mussel cultivation; mussel farming; offshore; aquaculture; climate change; Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture; IMTA; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Victoria Persson Abstract Mussel cultivation is a sustainable type of food production that may help mitigate the nutritional needs of a future world population of 10-12 billion in 2100. The demand for mussels on the French market is increasing but the production is saturated due to a lack of space for expanding the cultivation close to shore. READ MORE

  3. 17. Improving mussel reef protection from a sustainability perspective: Mapping of a blue mussel reef in Denmark

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Lydia Alexandra Ness; [2022]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; biogenic reef; blue mussels; ROV; mapping; habitat protection; earth sciences;

    Abstract : Coastal areas currently face a lot of anthropogenic pressures (Erlandsson et al, 2011; Wilcox et al, 2020) which might further increase through climate change (Maltby et al, 2022). This can lead to the disappearance of crucial, habitat engineering species like blue mussels (Tummon Flynn et al, 2020). READ MORE

  4. 18. Freshwater bivalves with ecosystem engineering traits : The biodeposition rate of A. anatina and U. tumidus

    University essay from Karlstads universitet/Fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap (from 2013)

    Author : Gullstrand Tova; [2022]
    Keywords : Freshwater bivalves; biodeposition rate; A. anatina; U. tumidus; faeces; pseudofaeces; duck mussel; swollen river mussel; Sötvattensmusslor; biodepositionshastighet; A. anatina; U. tumidus; avföring; pseudoavföring; allmän dammussla; spetsig målarmussla;

    Abstract : Freshwater bivalves of the family Unionidae have filter-feeding traits that alter freshwater ecosystems on several trophic levels. Filtration of organic and inorganic particulates in the water column transform matter through the mussel’s egestion before it is sequestered in the sediment, making it available as food for benthic invertebrates.

  5. 19. Genomic DNA sequencing of freshwater mussel using the minion

    University essay from Högskolan i Skövde/Institutionen för biovetenskap

    Author : Sanam Zeb; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Freshwater mussels (Unionida) belong to phylum Mollusca and live in freshwater habitats, such as lakes and rivers. Freshwater mussels have high capacity for water purification and play an important role in calcium recycling. READ MORE

  6. 20. 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
