Testing a Model of Pacific Oysters’ ( Crassostrea gigas ) Growth in the Adriatic Sea: Implications for Aquaculture Spatial Planning
Assessing the potential biomass yield is a key step in aquaculture site selection. This is challenging, especially for shellfish, as the growth rate depends on both trophic status and water temperature. Individual ecophysiological models can be used for mapping potential shellfish growth in coastal...

Assessing the potential biomass yield is a key step in aquaculture site selection.
