An alternative is to obtain realized CR information based on the backcalculation of the effect of shellfish grazing on the food supply (Aure et al 2007) or growth (Fréchette & Bacher 1998).

Optimal stocking densities were investigated for the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus Selenka under feed-supplement and non-feed-supplement regimes in net enclosures for 333 d. Substantial weight loss occurred during the aestivation phase (AE). Decreased growth rates were also observed during the winter phase (WT). In contrast, sea cucumbers showed rapid growth during the spring (SP) and autumn (AU) phases. Feeding regimes considerably influenced the growth performance, i.e., sea cucumbers grew faster under feed-supplement regime than under non-feed-supplement regime (P < 0.05). The average survival rates of sea cucumbers under feed-supplement regime were higher than those under non-feed-supplement regime for both the autumn phase and spring phase, but the differences were only significant for the latter phase (P < 0.05). The fitted B-N curves showed that the optimal stocking densities, in terms of net production, were 22.3 ind. m -2 for feed-supplement regime and 14.1 ind. m -2 for non-feed-supplement regime.

Hierarchical structure of bivalve culture systems and optimal stocking density

Bivalve culture systems are hierarchical, with culture units being nested within culture gear, which are nested within farms, and so on. The possibility that processes acting at the scale of individual culture units may interact with high-level processes has been overlooked in carrying capacity models, although basin-scale patterns are generated at the scale of culture units. Here I study the effect of increasing basin-scale loading on unit-scale optimal stocking density (OSD). I find a curvilinear relationship, with OSD decreasing with basin-scale loading. Clearly basin-scale models should incorporate culture-unit effects. This may be achieved by using experimental studies of the clearance rate of whole culture units to complement estimates of ecophysiological processes of individuals. Such culture-unit information, along with knowledge of associated local phytoplankton depletion at various current speeds and culture-unit stocking levels, may be used to generate submodels to be included in basin-scale models. To facilitate experimental testing of across-scale effects, I develop a simple food-regulated growth model combining density dependence at the scale of individual culture units and at the scale of basins.
