Abstract

Based on own experiments and analysis of published data, a decrease in the physiological activity of mussels in druses is studied. It is shown that the aggregate position has the greatest effect on filtration and respiration rates. In the same mollusk, the filtration rate in the druses can be 2 to 3 times less than in the solitary state. The rates of linear and weight growth, as well as the intensity of ammonium and phosphate excretion for mussels in druses and in a single state are not significantly different.

Keywords

environmental modeling, filtration rates, respiration, excretion, growth, Mytilus galloprovincialis.
