چکیده انگلیسی
In suspended aquaculture, the size of mussel seed and the density at which these mussels are placed in socks are two important factors affecting mussel production. However, the effect of these two factors has yet to be examined simultaneously. We conducted two large-scale field experiments to assess the effect of seed size and initial density on growth, tissue-to-shell ratio and survival of blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) grown on longlines. Experimental mussel sites were set up during the autumn of two consecutive years in two bays on the north shore of Prince Edward Island, Canada. At each site, socks containing combinations of three seed sizes (small, medium and large) at two initial densities (low and high) were deployed and monitored over time. Small seed grew faster than large seed and often reached commercial size in the same time period. Furthermore, initial density generally did not affect shell growth. During the pre-spawning period following the autumn deployment, seed at low initial density had a higher tissue-to-shell ratio than seed at high initial density, especially for large seed. This effect of initial density disappeared in early summer. Early in the experiments (<Â about 10 months), mussel survival on socks was affected by seed size only: small seed generally had lower survival rates than larger seed. Late in the experiments (>Â 10 months), there appeared to be an interaction between seed size and initial density on mussel survival: survival of small seed generally decreased with increasing initial density, while survival of large seed was not affected by initial density. Since large seed tended to be packed at lower initial density than small seed, lack of crowding was likely responsible for the absence of density-dependent loss. Our study thus assessed different seeding strategies, and results were generally consistent across years and sites.
