  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. STARTING FROM THE BOTTOM: USING LOW TROPHIC SPECIES IN SALMON FEEDS. Assessing the environmental performance of novel salmon feeds with LCA .

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Author : Moritz Hempel; [2022-08-30]
    Keywords : LCA; Salmon aquaculture; novel feeds; seaweed; blue mussel;

    Abstract : Over the past 30 years, the formulation of salmon feeds has shifted from being based on marine ingredients like fishmeal and fish oil towards more plant-based ingredients. This shift was caused by limited supply of wild fish and general sustainability concerns related to using forage fish for feed, so they were mainly replaced with vegetable-protein. READ MORE

  4. 3. 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

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

  6. 5. Mussel farming using various techniques evaluated using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Märta Frösell; [2019]
    Keywords : Mussel; Climate impact; Eutrophication potential; LCA; Greenhouse gas emissions;

    Abstract : Food-production has a great impact on the environment and the need for a more sustainable food consumption pattern and low impact products is high. Aquaculture in general, and especially mussels are in many ways a sustainable alternative for protein source. READ MORE
