Refining Spat‐Collection Practices to Optimise Single‐Seed Spat Production for New Zealand's Greenshell (Perna canaliculus) Mussel Industry

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussel aquaculture depends on a consistent spat supply, often sourced from spat‐collection ropes suspended in coastal waters. However, settlement on these ropes can be highly variable due to environmental factors. Therefore, improving spat supply from this source relies on optimising aspects of the process, particularly the timing of ...

Local deformations and incommensurability of high quality epitaxial graphene on a weakly interacting transition metal [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We investigate the fine structure of graphene on iridium, which is a model for graphene weakly interacting with a transition metal substrate. Even the highest quality epitaxial graphene displays tiny imperfections, i.e. small biaxial strains, ca.

Determining the Environmental Drivers of Greenshell Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Spat Settlement

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Globally, mussel aquaculture production is often constrained by a limited supply of spat, the juvenile stage of mussels, used to initiate production. In some instances, the harvesting of wild spat on spat‐collection ropes has the potential to quickly solve this acute shortage. However, the settlement of mussel spat on collectors is known to be

Sweetening the Deal: Testing Pre‐Seeding Exposure to Dissolved Sugar as a Conditioning Method for Mussel Spat

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The poor retention of mussel spat during the early stages of longline aquaculture is a global issue, leading to inefficient use of juveniles and reduced production yields. In New Zealand, the Greenshell mussel (Perna canaliculus) industry relies heavily on wild‐sourced spat, often seeded onto grow ropes in poor nutritional condition ...
