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): “A case study which examined suspended culture of green mussels suggested few realized effects on abundance of one species (blue cod) and that the primary effect might be on pelagic fish that consume zooplankton should the footprint of farms be expanded (Jiang and Gibbs, 2005).”
Analysis of coastal and offshore aquaculture: Application of the FARM model to multiple systems and shellfish species (2009, background): “Consequently, Jiang and Gibbs (2005) identified carrying capacity prediction as a pre-requisite to establishing or expanding large-scale culture operations.”
Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “Mussel culture may also change the planktonic food resources available to other species and this should be considered when determining the ecological carrying capacity of an area (Jiang and Gibbs 2005; Sequeira et al. 2008).”
Review of recent carrying capacity models for bivalve culture and recommendations for research and management (2006, background): “A recent paper (Jiang and Gibbs, 2005) specifically attempts to determine the carrying capacity of an area in New Zealand for bivalve culture using a mass-balance approach and the ECOPATH model.”
