Effect of emersion time on growth, mortality and quality of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas, Thunberg 1973) reared in a suspended system in a lagoon in Northern Italy
To assess the effect of emersion time on growth, mortality and quality, 4320 triploid oysters were glued to suspended ropes in a plant located in Sacca degli Scardovari, a Northern Italian lagoon on the Po delta. The oysters were subjected to three emersion systems (10 ropes/system): the farm standa...
