Factors affecting the persistence of mussels (Mytilus californianus) and their associated epibiont species were studied along the central Oregon coast. Interactions between mussels and their algal epibionts (Endocladia
muricata) varied in sign and...

This study analyzes supply and demand system for the mussels in the EU
markets. The results show that farmed and wild quantity of two main
species of mussels, Mytilus edulis and Mytilus galloprovincialis, have
declined in recent years due to...

Concern about heavy metal pollution has increased during the
past decade in which studies have shown that heavy metals are accumulating
in the environment and that these metals, in excess, are
toxic to organisms, including man. Because of this...

The pea crab Fabia subquadrata is frequently found as a symbiont
of mussels, living within the mantle cavity. This study examined
the nature of this symbiotic relationship by recording the pattern
of distribution of individuals in a mussel bed,...

This study uses hedonic price approach to investigate how price of mussel
is formed. The model uses 8896 observations (transactions) from auction
market in Yeserke, the Netherland. The results show that product attributes
such as meat content,...

Mussels aquaculture is a relevant activity for the fishery sector of the North
Adriatic. Around 15 km of coastal water of the Gulf of Trieste, Italy, are
used for the mussel long line farming, for a production of about 5000
tonn/year. The aim of...

Birds affected the community structure of an Oregon rocky shore by
preying upon mussels (Mytilus spp.) and limpets (Collisella spp.). The
impact of such predation is potentially great, as mussels are the
competitively dominant mid-intertidal...

Understanding how large-scale processes (>100 kms) influence ecological
communities is currently a major focus in ecology. In marine systems, coastal
upwelling, a large-scale oceanographic process in which surface water pushed
offshore by winds is...

Aquaculture and fisheries are essential resources for the agri-food
production of the north Adriatic coast. In particular mussels farms occupy a
large area of the gulf of Trieste. A total of 16 producers, working in small
cooperatives or...

Objectives: Collect data on mussel distribution, habitat utilization, and other related
data in the Brazos River, San Antonio River, and Sabine River basins.
Identify mussels, prepare species lists, and report data.

The uptake, tissue distribution and retention patterns of
cadmium, mercury and zinc were examined in the freshwater mussel,
Margaritifera margaritifera. All three of these heavy metals are
