Comparing life history traits and tolerance to changing environments of two oyster species ( Ostrea edulis and Crassostrea gigas) through Dynamic Energy Budget theory
Abstract To predict the response of the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) and Pacific cupped oyster (Crassostrea gigas/Magallana gigas) populations to environmental changes, it is key to understand their life history traits. The Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory is a mechanistic framework that e...
