Shellfish aquaculture has been proposed to abate eutrophication because it can remove
nutrients via shellfish filter-feeding. Using a three-dimensional physical-biogeochemical …

Finfish cage culture is the most predominant form of mariculture. The rapid expansion of fish
cage culture systems has raised concerns about their environmental impact, such as nutrient …

Abstract The Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a commercially important aquaculture
species and food resource along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the USA. In addition to its …

Temperature increase caused by thermal discharge from power plants promotes
phytoplankton growth and frequent bloom in eutrophic subtropical waters, particularly in cold …

Despite the existing studies on oyster physiology, it is a concern that, by ignoring the diurnal
rhythmicity of feeding activities, the current knowledge on oyster filtration might be …

Despite the commercial importance of the sea cucumber Holothuria leucospilota increasing
in recent years, little is known of its spatial distribution and ecology in the South China Sea …

Suspended oysters employ physiological strategies to adjust their metabolic needs with the
available food resources. Using the biodeposition method, the feeding and processing …

Sea urchins produced by aquaculture could enhance declining wild populations and
provide a sufficient roe product to satisfy increasing market demand. This study reports a …

Almost all the Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata in China are grown in nearshore
farms using suspended culture. Problems such as overstocking and environmental …

Mariculture of bivalves (eg, mussels, scallops, and oysters) is develo** rapidly in coastal
waters. This process releases shell debris that can accumulate on the seabed under farms …
