Growth of Crassostrea gigas and Mytilus edulis in the Oosterschelde estuary in relation to local food availibility
Disappointing growth of cultured mussels and oysters in previous years resulted in a reduced yield for mussel and oyster farmers. This is accounted to the increasing amount of wild Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) and the reduction of primary production of phytoplankton. The aim of this study was...
