Associated and digenean fauna of the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis cultured on shellfish tables in the lagoon of Bizerta (Tunisia)
1 - Shellfish tables used for the breeding in bags of the oyster Crassostrea gigas and the mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis are suitable support for rapid colonization by marine living organisms.2 - During the period, June 2008 to May 2009, monthly samples of M. galloprovincialis were collected from...
