14.4.3 Integrated Assessment

These studies show that the effects of different mussel culture activities vary; seed fisheries on wild beds may have a direct negative impact on biodiversity (short term), but at the same time leads to an increased survival and thus higher total biomass of mussels on the culture plots. High mussel biomass in turn leads to high biodiversity, also on culture plots. Quantitative comparison between those processes is difficult, due to large temporal and spatial differences of the activities. Nevertheless, those results provide valuable guidance for further development of management strategies for nature conservation and sustainable bivalve culture in the sublittoral areas of the Dutch Wadden Sea.
