Influence of climate on Pelorus Sound mussel aquaculture yields: predictive models and underlying mechanisms

Multiple regression models were used to predict aquaculture production in Pelorus Sound, a 50 km long estuary supporting 68% of New Zealand’s greenshell mussel Perna canaliculus aquaculture industry (worth NZ$204 million per annum). Mussel meat yield was modelled using both biological predictors, in...
