Fish predation causes significant Greenshell mussel losses in New Zealand. Experimental caging methods found losses due to predation up to 93% in juveniles (25 – 34 mm SL) over 67 days. However, the overall contribution of predation at other production stages remains unclear.

ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The impacts of biological invasions
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Eastern Oyster Physiological Responses to Acute and Chronic Exposure to Suspended Sediments
Louisiana estuaries provide habitat for some of the most productive population of the eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica in the Gulf of Mexico. Coastal alterations, including changes in river flow of the Mississippi River, sediment diversions, and ...

Ocean warming (OW) and acidification (OA) synergistically doubled overwintering Calanus glacialis mortality and increased DNA damage. OW accelerated moulting by mid‐Polar Night, boosted metabolism, depleted lipids by early March, 1–4 months pre‐spring algal bloom, and amplified oxidative damage. Collectively, these stressors cause overwintering failure,

Abstract Commercial oyster farming is a new industry in Texas. Because of this, few guidelines regarding management practices for producers have been established. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different gear types and stocking densities on various oyster production indices.

EASTERN OYSTER (CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA) GROWTH AND EPIFAUNAL COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ON BARS OF VARYING OYSTER DENSITY IN CHESAPEAKE BAY [PDF]
The eastern oyster, <i>Crassostrea virginica<i>, is a gregarious, reef-forming organism. Oyster populations that once dominated the Chesapeake estuary have declined significantly and interest has recently arisen to restore the economic and ...
