• Feedbacks from Filter Feeders: Review on the Role of Mussels in Cycling and Storage of Nutrients in Oligo- Meso- and Eutrophic Cultivation Areas 

      Jansen, Henrice Maria; Strand, Øivind; van Broekhoven, Wouter; Strohmeier, Tore; Verdegem, Marc C.J.; Smaal, Aad C. (Chapter, 2019)
      Cultured and wild bivalve stocks provide ecosystem services through regulation of nutrient dynamics; both by regeneration of nutrients that become available again for phytoplankton production (positive feedback), and by ...
    • Goods and Services of Marine Bivalves 

      Smaal, Aad C.; Ferreira, João Gomes; Grant, Jon; Petersen, Jens K.; Strand, Øivind (Book, 2019)
      The aim of this book is to review and analyse the goods and services of bivalve shellfish. How they are defined, what determines the ecological functions that are the basis for the goods and services, what controversies ...
    • Introduction to Cultural Services 

      Smaal, Aad C.; Strand, Øivind (Chapter, 2019)
      Cultural services of marine bivalves are of high value as they provide well-being in many different ways. These services are more difficult to quantify but provide a lot of qualities. Shell collectioning, shells as archives, ...
    • Introduction to Provisioning Services 

      Grant, Jon; Strand, Øivind (Chapter, 2019)
      Food provisioning is a prominent feature of marine bivalve production, applicable worldwide since ancient times. Easy accessibility of this food source and high nutritional value make bivalves a possible driver in human ...
    • Introduction to Regulating Services 

      Strand, Øivind; Ferreira, João Gomes (Chapter, 2019)
      Bivalves are foundation species with important regulating functions in the ecosystem. This is due to their function as filter feeders, their capacity to extract particles, to regenerate as well as store nutrients and – for ...
    • Perspectives on Bivalves Providing Regulating Services in Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture 

      Strand, Øivind; Jansen, Henrice M; Zengjie, Jiang; Robinson, Shawn M. C. (Chapter, 2019)
      The concept of integrating species into one culture system originates from Asia and the Middle East. Development of integrated aquaculture involving marine bivalves is relatively new, going back to the late 1980s in China ...
    • Regulating Services of Bivalve Molluscs in the Context of the Carbon Cycle and Implications for Ecosystem Valuation 

      Filgueira, Ramón; Strohmeier, Tore; Strand, Øivind (Chapter, 2019)
      The role of marine bivalves in the CO2 cycle has been commonly evaluated as the balance between respiration, shell calcium carbonate sequestration, and CO2 release during biogenic calcification; however, this individual-based ...
    • Spatial, Ecological and Social Dimensions of Assessments for Bivalve Farming Management 

      Bacher, Cédric; Gangnery, Aline; Cugier, P.; Mongruel, R.; Strand, Øivind; Frangoudes, K. (Chapter, 2019)
      The general purpose of assessment is to provide decision-makers with the best valuable data, information, and predictions with which management decisions will be supported. Using case studies taken from four scientific ...
