Effects of mussel (Perna canaliculus) biodeposit decomposition on benthic respiration and nutrient fluxes (2006, background): “Biodeposits have a high nutritional value (Kautsky and Evans 1987; Giles and Pilditch 2004 ) and show high bacterial activity (Kaspar et al. 1985; Grenz et al. 1990).”
Influence of suspended and off-bottom mussel culture on the sea bottom and benthic habitats: a review. (2011, background): “Sinking velocity ranged within 0.2-4.5 cm s-1 for Perna canaliculus measuring 2.7-11.4 cm (Giles and Pilditch 2004).”
Management of productivity environmental effects and profitability of shellfish aquaculture - the Farm Aquaculture Resource Management (FARM) model (2007, background): “…POM due to feeding, and the consolidation of suspended particles into larger (up to 40×) and more rapidly sedimenting composites as faeces and pseudofaeces (e.g. Giles and Pilditch, 2004;Newell, 2004), may promote increased water clarity, leading to a recovery in submerged aquatic vegetation (SAV).”
Absorption efficiency of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis and M. trossulus) feeding on Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) feed and fecal particulates: Implications for integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (2010, unknown): “Samples were filtered onto pre-ashed and weighed 47 mm Whatman GF/C filters, rinsedwith distilled water (Giles and Pilditch, 2004), then immediately stored below −20 °C until analysis.”
