Early development of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) cultured in potassium-fortified inland saline water

This study is the first attempt to culture larval stages of blue mussel Mytilus edulis in potassium-fortified inland saline water. The results have shown that that the larval development is feasible only if ISW is fortified with K+. By initiating larval culture in inland saline water, we expect better results will be reflected by adult stages.
