Selective Capture and Ingestion of Particles by Suspension-Feeding Bivalve Molluscs: A Review (2018, unknown): “The ability to capture larger particles means that bivalve grazing could affect zooplankton communities (Davenport et al. 2000, 2011), including aquaculture farms where bivalves are suspended in the water column in high numbers.”
Ingestion of mesozooplankton by three species of bivalve; Mytilus edulis, Cerastoderma edule and Aequipecten opercularis (2002, methodology): “Bivalves taken from the mesh cages had their stomach contents extracted within ¢ve to ten min of removal from seawater (cf. Davenport et al., 2000).”
Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “Mussels feed on a wide variety of food types measuring from 3 to 6000 µm (Kreeger and Newell 1996; Davenport et al. 2000; Wong et al. 2003; Lehane and Davenport 2006) and suspended and off-bottom mussel aquaculture places the bivalves in direct contact with the pelagic food web (Maar et al. 2008).”
Applying Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) theory to simulate growth and bio-energetics of blue mussels under low seston conditions (2009, background): “Chl a may also underestimate the true food concentrations available to mussels, since heterotrophic plankton have been reported to constitute an important dietary sources for blue mussels (Davenport et al., 2000; Lehane and Davenport, 2002; Lehane and Davenport, 2004; Trottet et al., in press).”
Local effects of blue mussels around turbine foundations in an ecosystem model of Nysted off-shore wind farm, Denmark (2009, background): “The presentmodel studywas thefirst to include copepods as a food source for shellfish although ingestion of copepodswas observed in severalfield and lab studies (Davenport et al., 2000; Wong et al., 2003; Lehane and Davenport, 2006).”
Incorporation of fish feed and growth of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) in close proximity to salmon (Salmo salar) aquaculture: Implications for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture in Norwegian coastal waters (2012, unknown): “However, althoughmussels have been found to filter out various sizes of nauplii and copepodite stages of zooplankton (Davenport et al., 2000; Lehane and Davenport, 2002; Lehane andDavenport, 2004, 2006;Molloy et al., 2011), it should be questioned and further investigated if early stages of…”
Production, mortality, and infectivity of planktonic larval sea lice, Lepeophtheirus salmonis (Krøyer, 1837): current knowledge and implications for epidemiological modelling (2018, background): “Bivalve molluscs, specifically the blue mussel Mytilis edulis, have been suggested to provide efficient clearance of mesoplankton of the same size order as sea lice larvae (Davenport et al., 2000).”
A comparison of scope for growth (SFG) and dynamic energy budget (DEB) models applied to the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) (2011, background): “In addition, the potential contribution of other food sources such as heterotrophic plankton (Davenport et al., 2000; Trottet et al., 2008) or detritus (e.”
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): “…not too large or evasive, such as dead particulate organic material or certain species of zooplankton (Fréchette et al., 1989; Navarro et al., 1992; Smaal, 1997; Dupuy et al., 1999; Davenport et al., 2000; Dupuy et al., 2000; Karlsson et al., 2003; Lehane and Davenport, 2004; Troost et al., 2008a).”
Open water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: constraints on the effectiveness of mussels as an organic extractive component (2013, background): “While mussels are highly opportunistic feeders that can effectively capture a wide size range of particles (~3 to 6000 µm; Davenport et al. 2000, Ward & Shumway 2004), the capacity to ingest large waste feed particles and fish feces present in the horizontal particle flux may be much lower than…”
