Modelling and mapping carbon capture potential of farmed blue mussels in the Baltic Sea region
This study applies a regional Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model, enhanced to include biocalcification processes, to evaluate the carbon capture potential of farmed blue mussels (Mytilus edulis/trossulus) in the Baltic Sea.

Development of Bornholm mussel production
In this report, the potentials and barriers that are considered relevant regarding Bornholm and mussel farming will initially be presented. Subsequently, the results and effects of the activities carried out in the projects will be presented. Finally, the future opportunities in relation to mussel farming and Bornholm will be outlined.
Alternative proteins and EU food law
In this publication the authors ask how European food law impacts the transformative potential of alternative proteins, including single-cell
proteins, plant-based novel proteins, cultured meat, macroalgae, and insects.
Long‐term Changes in Trophic Ecology of Blue Mussels in a Rapidly Changing Ecosystem
This study reveals that altered trophic relationships from climate-induced changes in the productivity base may strongly impact keystone species, with potential knock-on effects on ecosystem functions.
Inverting nutrient fluxes across the land-water interface – Exploring the potential of zebra mussel farming
The authors of this paper studied the potential of zebra mussel farming for nutrient retention in a eutrophic lake.
A spatial model for nutrient mitigation potential of blue mussel farms inthe western Baltic Sea
In this publication, a new modular spatial model for mussel mitigation farms is developed and presented.
Extending New Zealand’s Marine Shellfish Aquaculture Into Exposed Environments -Adapting to Modern Anthropogenic Challenges
New Zealand has a large exclusive economic zone (EEZ) of which the area between the 30 and 50 m bathymetric zone offers the most prospects for shellfish production. Only 0.3% of this zone would be required to increase New Zealand’s shellfish production by 150,000 t.
Fundraising Guide for Bio Tech Startups
For most ordinary startups, funding is rarely an obstacle to a good business
idea. However, biotechnology is different for a number of reasons.
Baltic Blue Growth: Initiating Large Scale Mussel Farming in the Baltic Sea
Mussel farming has been suggested as a new economic activity for the
Baltic Sea Region, with several potentially positive effects on environment, nutrient cycling, food security and employment. Small experimental mussel farms have been present in the area for about a decade, and in recent years several new and larger mussel farms have been initiated.

Environmental impacts of mussel farming
Worldwide, aquaculture, including mussel production, has been fastest growing sector of the food industry since 1970s.
Baltic Blue Growth – Addressing the Mussel Farms in Maritime Spatial Planning Process
Establishing and running a mussel farm in the Baltic have to be addressed in the maritime spatial planning (MSP) process based on a methodology supported by scientific knowledge, legislation and knowledge of business potentials for mussel farming.
