2. 1. Uptake and fate of pathogenic microbes in the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis

   Author : Bodil Hernroth; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mytilus edulis; bivalve; immune response; lipopolysaccharide; LPS; antimicrobial peptide; gamma camera; radiolabelling; Salmonella typhimurium; sanitary safety; public health;

   Abstract : Bivalves, like the blue mussel Mytilus edulis, are filter-feeders and can therefore accumulate high numbers of microbes from the surrounding water. These shellfish are considered the main risk for bringing pathogens from domestic outlets in the sea, back to the community. READ MORE

5. 3. Importance of blue mussels for biodiversity and ecosystem functioning in subtidal habitats

   Author : Pia Norling; Nils Kautsky; Tom Ysebaert; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; blue mussel; Mytilus spp.; ecosystem engineering; habitat-modifier; diversity; facilitation; ecosystem functioning; ecosystem services and water quality maintenance; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Blue mussels, Mytilus spp., occur on rocky and sedimentary shores worldwide where they often form dense aggregates. These assemblages change the local environment and create unique habitats. READ MORE

6. 4. New Perspectives in Multi-trophic Aquaculture

   Author : Matthew Hargrave; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; aquaculture; kelp; seaweed; IMTA; mussel; bioremediation; Saccharina latissima; Mytilus edulis; extractive aquaculture; biofouling; epiphytes;

   Abstract : Aquaculture, the farming of marine and aquatic organisms, is currently the fastest growing food production sector globally. As capture fisheries have stagnated and the fishing down of marine food webs has been seen to be unsustainable, aquaculture is filling the deficit in providing food to a growing world population.

7. 5. Wave energy conversion and the marine environment : Colonization patterns and habitat dynamics

   Author : Olivia Langhamer; Anders Berglund; Jan Sundberg; Andrew Gill; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; artificial reefs; benthos; biodiversity; biofouling; colonization; environmental impact; fish; shellfish; Mytilus edulis; renewable energy; wave power; Biology; Biologi; Animal Ecology; Zooekologi;

   Abstract : A wave energy park has been established on the Swedish west coast outside Lysekil and pioneer work about its interactions with the marine environment has been conducted. So far, little is known about the effects of offshore energy installations on the marine environment, and this thesis assists in minimizing environmental risks as well as in enhancing potential positive effects on the marine environment.
