Open water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: constraints on the effectiveness of mussels as an organic extractive component

Mussels are currently the primary species employed in open water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture (IMTA) systems to extract particulate organic fish waste (OFW) exiting fish net-pens. Information on mussel feeding and digestion physiology was used to identify constraints on the capacity of musse...
