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): “The contribution of cultured bivalves to clearance is further obscured when they represent an unknown fraction of all suspension-feeders (Heip et al., 1995; Leguerrier et al., 2004; Pomeroy et al., 2006; Dubois et al., 2007; Putland and Iverson, 2007), though this has also been measured and models d”
Stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) and modelling as tools to estimate the trophic ecology of cultivated oysters in two contrasting environments (2007, methodology): “Since the BDV exhibits large spatial differences in biological performances (Costil et al. 2005) and in isotopic signatures (Dubois et al. 2007a) of C. gigas, two locations were chosen in this system.”
Marine diatoms sustain growth of bivalves in a Mediterranean lagoon (2012, background): “In contrast, in an 13 estuary where freshwater inputs are overwhelmed by seawater during high tides, terrestrial organic matter did not contribute greatly to the diets of oysters and other suspension-feeders (Dubois et al., 2007).”

Causes and effects of a highly successful marine invasion: Case-study of the introduced Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in continental NW European estuaries (2010, background): “…of 15N to 14N) of the bivalve tissue, C. gigas was found to utilize a diet different from that of M. edulis and the filter-feeding snail Crepidula fornicata in the French Bays of Veys (Dubois et al., 2007) and Mont Saint Michel (Riera, 2006) and the Dutch Oosterschelde estuary (Riera et al., 2002).”
