In on-bottom mussel culture mussels are seeded on culture plots, where they grow out from small mussels to consumption size. Seeding upon transplantation of mussels is common practice in mussel bottom culture. Previous work showed that mussels on culture plots experience large loss rates after seeding. Meanwhile, seed performance is critical for culture success. Culture practices can cause stress in mussels, with adverse effects on mussel condition, while survival of mussels is determined by their physiological condition and quality upon seeding. The question is when does this occur in mussel culture and how can this be avoided.
We like you to apply methods to detect stress levels in mussels and examine stress levels in mussels that have been exposed to different stressors. In advance experiments can be carried under controlled conditions where we can test different effects of different stressors.
