Futureproofing the green-lipped mussel aquaculture industry against ocean acidification ...

Ocean acidification is a potential threat to the growth, condition and survival of the green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) and may have implications for the New Zealand shellfish aquaculture industry.Two mitigation strategies - waste shell and aeration - were tested in field experiments to see h...

Description
Summary:Ocean acidification is a potential threat to the growth, condition and survival of the green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) and may have implications for the New Zealand shellfish aquaculture industry.Two mitigation strategies - waste shell and aeration - were tested in field experiments to see how effective they are at mitigating acidification around mussel farms. This report outlines the results and recommendations from this research. ...
