Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “Some studies have not detected effects related to mussel culture on infaunal communities (Crawford et al. 2003), whereas others have shown that mussel farms may modify microbial (Mirto et al. 2000), meiofaunal (Mirto et al. 2000) and/or infaunal communities (Hartstein and Rowden 2004).”
Sedimentation rates in a suspended mussel farm (Great-Entry Lagoon, Canada): biodeposit production and dispersion (2006, background): “…sulphate reduction (Dahlbäck & Gunnarsson 1981), enhanced ammonium release (Hatcher et al. 1994) and structural changes in the resident microbial (Mirto et al. 2000), meiofaunal (Mirto et al. 2000) and/or macrofaunal (Mattsson & Lindén 1983, Kaspar et al. 1985, Hartstein & Rowden 2004) communities.”
An integrated ecosystem approach for assessing the potential role of cultivated bivalve shells as part of the carbon trading system (2015, background): “…stocking and hydrological conditions, significantly affect habitat characteristics and infaunal communities in the vicinity of the farm (e.g. Mirto et al. 2000, Hargrave et al. 2008, Cranford et al. 2009, Guyondet et al. in press), concomitantly affecting benthic− pelagic coupling and the…”
Dusky dolphin foraging habitat: overlap with aquaculture in New Zealand (2004, background): “Changes in the benthic communities beneath mussel farms, including increases in aerobic heterotrophic bacteria (La Rosa et al., 2001) and decreases in meiofauna (Mirto et al., 2000), result from the biochemical effects of accumulated faeces and pseudofaeces (Grant et al., 1995).”
Impacts of bottom and suspended cultures of mussels Mytilus spp. on the surrounding sedimentary environment and macrobenthic biodiversity (2009, background): “The observation of a strong increase in the phaeopigment concentration further suggests that a majority of the phytosynthetic pigments in the mussel-aVected sediments were depositional chlorophyll degradation products derived from mussel fecal and pseudofecal materials (Mirto et al. 2000; Christense”
Effects of diet on sinking rates and erosion thresholds of mussel Perna canaliculus biodeposits (2004, background): “Cont Shelf Res 3(2):115–130 Kaspar HF, Gillespie PA, Boyer IC, MacKenzie AL (1985) 218 Giles & Pilditch: Mussel biodeposit dispersal Effects of mussel aquaculture on the nitrogen cycle and benthic communities in Kenepuru Sound, Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand.”
Meiofauna of the Adriatic Sea: present knowledge and future perspectives (2010, unknown): “Meiofauna have been shown to be a reliable indicator of ecological impacts on the benthic domain, not only in case of pollution [41], but also in the case of introducing ‘artificial reefs’ [42] and organic wastes resulting from mussel or fish farming activities [40,43,44].”
Effects of natural and human-induced hypoxia on coastal benthos (2009, background): “In this setting turbellarian, ostracod, and kinorhynch densities significantly decreased compared with a control site, while copepod densities remained constant or increased, possibly benefiting from enhanced microphytobentic biomass (Mirto et al., 2000).”
The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “, 2003), while in others, significant effects have been documented (Dahlback and Gunnarsson, 1981; Mattsson and Linden, 1983; Kaiser et al., 1998; Mirto et al., 2000; Christensen et al., 2003).”
