The seawater in the G. childressi culture system was enriched with methane by injection of methane-enriched air from an air-methane gas mixing device. methane concentrations... -
Stable isotopes of cultured Gigantidas childressi in deep-sea mussel culture
Stable isotopes (a: δ15N, b: δ13C) of G. childressi that experienced different nutritional regimes (CH4: 'M', algae + CH4: MA', only algae: 'A') in our culture. As reference, t0... -
Clearance rates of Gigantidas childressi filtering phytoplankton
Clearance rates of two batches (1 and 2) of cultured G. childressi mussels filtering phytoplankton. Batch 1 mussels ('small': 51 ± 3 mm SD, 'large': 77 ± 4 mm SD) received... -

Condition index of cultured Gigantidas childress in deep-sea mussel culture i...
Gigantidas childressi from three different nutritional treatments (cultured from August 2017 to November 2019) were sampled after 27 months of culture. The conditions index was... -
Condition index of cultured Gigantidas childress in deep-sea mussel culture i...
Gigantidas childressi (cultured from July 2014 to August 2016) were sampled after 23 months of culture. The conditions index was calculated as the ratio of ash-free dry weight... -
Methane concentrations in deep-sea mussel culture: hand feed
During culture of deep-sea mussels Bathymodiolus azoricus in November 2013, the culture system (200 L) was repetitively enriched with methane by adding 5 L CH4-saturated sea... -
Methane concentrations in deep-sea mussel culture: continuous methane feeding
During culture of deep-sea mussels Gigantidas Childressi in September 2017, the culture system (200 L) was continuous enriched with methane by bubbling with methane-enriched air...
