Environmental Influence on Feeding and Biodeposition Rates of Pacific Oysters (Crassostrea gigas) Throughout Its Culture Cycle in a Coastal Lagoon with Upwelling Influence
Suspended oysters employ physiological strategies to adjust their metabolic needs with the available food resources. Using the biodeposition method,...

Modelling the Spatial Distribution of Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Biodeposits Settling from Suspended Aquaculture
Oysters in suspended aquaculture filter out particulates from the water column and release pseudofeces and feces (collectively called biodeposits)...

Quantifying the Effects of Floating Oyster Aquaculture on Nitrogen Cycling in a Temperate Coastal Embayment
Estuaries worldwide are increasingly degraded by anthropogenic nitrogen (N) inputs, primarily from their watersheds. In southeastern Massachusetts,...

Ribbed Mussels Continue to Feed and Biodeposit in the Presence of Injured Conspecifics and Predators
Species interactions may mediate the ability of organisms and communities to provide valued services but are rarely considered in forecasting how...

Assessment of trace metal bioaccumulation on the shells of edible gastropod Chicoreus ramosus and Hemifusus pugilinus
The current study aimed to examine how some gastropods absorbed trace metals ( Chicoreus ramosus and Hemifusus pugilinus ). The existence of 17...

Edge Effects Are Not Linked to Key Ecological Processes in a Fragmented Biogenic Reef
Reef-forming species play a key role creating, modifying and maintaining important habitat and their associated communities. Globally, many of these...

A Review of Knowledge on the Impacts of Multiple Anthropogenic Pressures on the Soft-Bottom Benthic Ecosystem in Mediterranean Coastal Lagoons
Mediterranean coastal lagoons provide important ecological functions and nature’s contribution to people, but they are particularly vulnerable to...

Juvenile Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Biodeposits Contribute to a Rapid Rise in Sediment Nutrients on Restored Intertidal Oyster Reefs (Mosquito Lagoon, FL, USA)
By filtering large volumes of water and releasing nutrient-rich biodeposits (feces and pseudofeces), oysters can locally enhance sediment...

Modelling CO2 budget of mussel farms across the Mediterranean Sea
The role of bivalve aquaculture as a carbon sink is highly debated, without a general consensus on the components to include in the budget. This...

Removal of amoxicillin and co-amoxiclav by newly isolated Stenotrophomonas maltophilia DF1
Antibiotics as micro-pollutants enter the environment through pharmaceutical effluents, human urine and faeces, and sweat and increase antibiotic...

Spatial Distribution of Ribbed Mussel (Geukensia demissa) Filtration Rates Across the Salt Marsh Landscape
Ribbed mussels occupy multiple habitats across the salt marsh landscape—along primary low marsh shorelines, within tidal creeks, and across the high...
