Written by an internationally renowned expert in the field, this authoritative volume addresses morphology, ecology, ­feeding, phylogeny and evolution, reproduction and larval development, settlement and recruitment, genetics, disease, management of culture systems and more. The book encompasses many different species of marine mussels: genus \u003ci\u003eMytilus\u003c\/i\u003e, other important commercial marine genera such as \u003ci\u003ePerna, Aulacomya\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eChoromytilus\u003c\/i\u003e, and non-commercial genera including \u003ci\u003eModiolus, Geukensia, Brachidontes\u003c\/i\u003e and hydrothermal vent \u003ci\u003eBathymodiolus\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComprising twelve extensively cross-referenced chapters, the book discusses a diversity of integrated topics that range from fundamental physiology of marine mussels to new techniques being applied in their biology and ecology. Author Elizabeth Gosling reviews contemporary developments and issues in the field such as the use of DNA genetic markers in detecting and diagnosing different strains of pathogenic bacteria, the use of mussels as monitors of marine contaminants, sophisticated modelling techniques that simulate disease and forecast outbreaks, and the impacts of global warming, ocean acidification and hypoxia on marine mussels.
