European mussel cultivation along the Atlantic coast: production status, problems and perspectives (2002, background): “For the Oosterschelde estuary (SW Netherlands), van Stralen & Dijkema (1994) and Smaal et al. (2001) have shown that the carrying capacity is now fully exploited, as mussel growth is food limited and relates to total bivalve stock.”
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): “Food-limited growth is a common phenomenon among bivalves, demonstrated to occur on a local scale in the Wadden Sea (Kamermans, 1993; Beukema and Cadée, 1997) and on a larger scale in the Oosterschelde estuary (Hoek, 1902; Van Stralen and Dijkema, 1994; Smaal et al., 2001).”
An integrated ecosystem approach for assessing the potential role of cultivated bivalve shells as part of the carbon trading system (2015, background): “Therefore, cultured shellfish can also exert a bottomup nutrient control on phytoplankton populations (Ogilvie et al. 2000, Cranford et al. 2007, Trottet et al. 2008, Froján et al. 2014), which is considered to be an important feedback of bivalves on their own food source (Smaal et al. 2001).”
