“…The establishment of commercial mussel hatcheries is a way to overcome some of these issues. Hatcheries can provide a continuous supply of juveniles to growers, resolving spatfall issues [19]. Nursery operations are a key stage for hatchery production of mussels, as the survival of mussel seedlings on-ropes depends on the size of spat at seeding stage [20–23].…”

“…Nursery operations are a key stage for hatchery production of mussels, as the survival of mussel seedlings on-ropes depends on the size of spat at seeding stage [20–23]. Rearing newly settled mussel postlarvae in nurseries has significant effects on their survival when seeded on grow-out ropes, as it permits to reach a minimal size that ensures higher resistance towards the external environment [19]. However, feeding large amounts of spat in nurseries is expensive, particularly in term of diet supply, as algae production alone accounts around 40% of hatchery costs for rearing bivalve juveniles [24].…”

Blue mussels (Mytilus edulis L.) are important components of coastal ecosystems functioning through benthopelagic coupling and ecosystem engineering. At the same time, mussel production is central in the economy of coastal areas. Therefore, understanding their nutritional, physiological and metabolic processes at key life stages is important for their management, both within food production systems and in wild populations.Lipids are crucial molecules for bivalve growth, but their diversity and roles have been considered from fatty acid (FA) perspective. In this paper, we applied lipidomics to bivalve nutrition. Lipidomics provides a holistic perspective on lipid patterns; by examining the lipidome, important physiological information can be acquired. Here, we use controlled laboratory experiments to elucidate the responses to changes in the diet of newly settled mussels juveniles, one of the most critical life stages. The diets considered in this study are single strains diet of Cylindrotheca fusiformis CCAP 1017/2 – CYL, Isochrysis galbana CCAP 927/1– ISO, Monodopsis subterranean CCAP 848/1 – MONO, Nannochloropsis oceanica CCAP 849/10– NANNO and a commercial algae paste –SP.The diets had a significant effect on spat GR and WI, and according to their efficacy resulted ranked as follows: ISO>NANNO/CYL>SP>MONO. Spat FA composition and neutral lipid content (principally triacylglycerols - TG), were influenced by the diets. Furthermore, untargeted lipidomics also showed shifts in several phospholipid species, with changes related to the essential PUFA available from the diet. TG content, neutral lipids and several TG and FA species were correlated (Spearman R2>0.8 FDR p<0.05) with spat WI, suggesting their possible application as markers of mussel juvenile condition. The availability of dietary essential PUFA deeply modified the spat lipidome both for neutral and for polar lipids. This change in the lipidome could have major impacts on their ecology and their production for food.

“…Hatchery production of larvae can provide an alternative supply. While higher production overheads are generally associated with hatchery-reared juveniles compared to wild-caught spat, such expenses can be offset by using ultra-high-density larval rearing practices, seeding ropes with more spat, incorporation of selective breeding programs to achieve higher-value products, and the possibility for growing triploids to enhance meat yields, among others (Kamermans et al 2013 ).…”

“…However, clear global interest is growing among producers and stakeholders (Kamermans et al 2013 ;Carrasco et al 2014 ). Small-scale hatchery production of larvae for commercial research purposes has recently been conducted with a number of important advances coming from the west coast USA, Canada, South Australia and New Zealand (SARF 2014 ).…”

Gas chromatography mass spectroscopy was applied to characterize the metabolic profiles of hatchery-reared mussel (Perna canaliculus) larvae before and after a prolonged handling and water exchange process, and to investigate the effect of culture conditions. A decrease in succinate and an increase in alanine were observed after the water exchange, which indicated alterations in energy production and osmotic balance. However, these variations were subtle and it is unlikely that the water exchange practice had any lasting negative effects on larval physiology and performance. Multivariate pattern recognition tools (hierarchical clustering, principal component analysis and projection to latent squares discriminant analysis) were used to assess metabolite variations in larvae reared in low-density static and high-density flow through systems and to construct a culture condition classification model.

“…Mussel seed can also be produced in hatcheries. This method does not currently seem to be a viable alternative to obtain resource material given the higher costs compared to mussel seed from fishery on natural beds or SMCs (Kamermans et al 2013). When the costs of resource material increases, as they do for SMC seed, out-growing can also be carried out on submerged lines, as in longline culture or raft culture.…”
