Production, reproductive effort, reproductive value and reproductive cost in a population of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis from a subarctic environment
The standing crop of mussels MytiIus edulis from Bellevue. Newfoundland, is similar to that of the densest beds in warmer waters, but population production is not as great. Production by individual mussels at Bellevue exceeds that in most populations for which appropriate data are available. Detaile...
