“…The same method was applied by Handa et al (2011) andZaldívar (2008). Spawning events for M. galloprovincialis in Maliakos and Thermaikos Gulfs occur between December and March (Fasoulas & Fantidou 2008, Theodorou et al 2011. Thus, for the simulated mussel individual the spawning day was set at about the middle of the spawning season.…”

“…Because of the overall oligotrophic characteristics of the Mediterranean, major farming areas are only found close to estuarine systems. In Greece, these are mainly located in the northern part of the country where major rivers discharge (Theodorou et al 2011(Theodorou et al , 2015a, and are more scattered in other areas of continental Greece (Fig. 1).…”

), suggesting that X k should be treated as a site-specific parameter. Food density (X) was adapted to include not only Phyto-C but also POC in the diet of M. galloprovincialis and only when Phyto-C density was low compared to POC density. Results showed a small contribution of POC during spring in the Maliakos Gulf and almost none at Thermaikos Gulf. The simulated mussel growth showed good agreement with field data. Sensitivity tests on the calibrated parameters (E, R and X k ) were performed to investigate model uncertainty. The standard deviation of simulations with perturbed parameter/initial values remained relatively small and appeared to increase as the modeled mussel grew, in agreement with observations.

Abstract. The paper covers research findings on mussel farming and the analysis of current situation in mussel farming in the Baltic Sea. The mussel farming has a development potential in the Baltic Sea region. Some developers have chosen progressive activities to achieve the aim. For example, in Sweden the development of mussel farming is suggested as one of the instruments for reducing eutrophication. Several countries in the Baltic Sea region are in the beginning phase of the mariculture development. The following research methods were used in the research: studies of scientific publications, case studies and document studies on some important factors impeding the development of mussel farming in the Baltic Sea.

“…Two samplings took place, one in the summer (July) and one in the autumn (October); in each sampling, total number INTRODUCTION C ulture of the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in Thermaikos gulf (northern Greece) has been an important activity since 1980. In that area, over 200 mussel farming sites exist, producing close to 30,000 tonnes of mussels (Theodorou et al, 2011). Most farms (about 130) use the 'long-line' culture system.…”

For the production of the Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis, two systems are used in Greece, the ‘long-line’ and the ‘on-table’ system. In the present study, effects of farming system on prevalence of infection by some parasites of Mediterranean mussels were investigated. Three mussel culture sites, located at Thermaikos gulf, with similar profiles, where both farming systems are practiced, were selected. Two samplings took place in 2008, one in July and one in October. From each site, 30 mussels per culture system were collected. From each mussel, tissue samples from the visceral mass, mantle and gills were collected and examined histologically for the presence of any parasites. Number of mussels parasitized by at least one parasitic species was substantially increased in mussels cultured with the ‘on-table’ system. In particular, prevalence of infection by Urastoma cyprinae and Marteilia spp. was substantially increased in mussels cultured with the ‘on-table’ system, while no relation between farming system and prevalence of infection by Eugymnanthea inquilina was observed. Prevalence of infection by Myticola intestinalis, Steinhausia mytilovum and Proctoeces maculatus was considerably low in both culture systems. In addition, in both culture systems, number of the mussels infected by E. inquilina and U. cyprinae was substantially increased in October, while an opposite trend was noted for Marteilia spp.
