Investment in extractive or 'non-fed'aquaculture has been proposed as a partial solution for
sustainable food provision. An important aspect is the potential for aquaculture-environment …

Intensive fish aquaculture has raised serious environmental concerns, including
eutrophication, harmful algal blooms, fish kills, etc. Integrated multi-trophic aquaculture …

Overfishing, nutrient-fuelled hypoxia and habitat destruction have reduced oyster
populations to a fraction of their former abundance. Over the past two decades there has …

Production of animal protein is associated with high greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Globally, oyster aquaculture is increasing as a way to meet growing demands for protein, yet …

Recently, interest has grown in using oyster-mediated denitrification resulting from
aquaculture and restoration as mechanisms for reactive nitrogen (N) removal. To date, short …

Excess nitrogen (N) loading and resulting eutrophication plague coastal ecosystems
globally. Much work is being done to remove N before it enters coastal receiving waters, yet …

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 …

Mussel farming has been proposed as a mechanism to mitigate eutrophication in coastal
waters. However, localizing the intensive filtration of organic matter by mussels can cause a …

In coastal ecosystems, suspension-feeding bivalves can remove nitrogen though uptake
and assimilation or enhanced denitrification. Bivalves may also retain nitrogen through …

Bivalves are becoming an increasingly popular tool to counteract eutrophication, particularly
in vegetated coastal ecosystems where synergistic interactions between bivalves and plants …
