Sea otter interactions with mariculture oyster farms

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 6, August 2025.
Despite concerns about sea otter (Enhydra lutris) interactions with oyster farms in Alaska, our study found no significant differences in general activity or prey selection between farm and non‐farm areas. However, sea otter prey intake rates varied spatially, with clams, mussels, and crabs dominating their diet.

Non‐Native Species in Aquaculture: Burgeoning Production and Environmental Sustainability Risks

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Rising global food demands and technological advancements have led to unprecedented growth in the aquaculture industry. This rapid expansion has facilitated the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. While farming non‐native species boosts global food supply, it also poses environmental and socio‐economic risks when escapees ...

Can the Movement of the Deep‐Sea Bivalve Acesta excavata Lead to a Dynamic Habitat?

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Acesta excavata is one of the largest and ecologically relevant bivalves along continental margins and is often associated with cold‐water coral assemblages of the upper bathyal zone. Like other habitat‐forming species, A. excavata contributes to increasing the secondary substrata and provides opportunities for the colonization and feeding of ...

The Influence of Aquaculture and a Natural Environmental Gradient on Shell Landmark Variation of the Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) From the Eastern Adriatic Sea

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.
We used geometric morphometry to identify shell landmark differentiation in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis across the eastern Adriatic Sea. The results revealed that an elongated shell shape was particularly characteristic of southern populations and those from environments with lower salinity concentrations.

Effects of interactions among primary and secondary foundation species on biodiversity and associated community structure

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract A key foundation species, red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), and secondary foundation species (oysters, sponges, and barnacles) that reside on mangrove prop roots are abundant along the coastline in subtropical Florida. We hypothesized the Foundation Species Interaction Biodiversity (FSIB) model, which explains the relationships between the ...

Modiolus cimbricus sp. nov. (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) endemic in the Kattegat-Skagerrak

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2019
Small usually beautifully coloured mussels from the Kattegat were to date identified as Modiolus adriaticus (Lamarck, 1819) since C.G.Johs. Petersen’s account of the shell-bearing molluscs was published in 1888.
