ShellSIM model introduction
SHELLSIM model | Scale A - definition | Shellfish | North Atlantic | Plymouth Marine Laboratory, England |
| Description: | Common model structure that has been calibrated and validated to simulate dynamic responses in feeding, biodeposition, metabolism, excretion, and growth among suspension feeding bivalve shellfish (mussels (Mytilus edulis, M. galloprovincialis, Perna canaliculus),oysters (Crassostrea gigas, Ostrea plicatula), scallops (Chlamys farreri) and clams (Tapes philippinarum, Tegillarca granosa, Sinonvacula constricta) as a function of variations in seawater temperature, salinity, aerial exposure, seston availability and seston composition as experienced during culture across a broad range of environments. | |||
