Recruitment of the mussel Mytella strigata in artificial collectors on the Amazon Macrotidal Mangrove Coast

This study assessed the efficacy of artificial collectors in recruiting Mytella strigata along the Amazon Macrotidal Mangrove Coast. The experiment involved three treatments (PVC plate, PET, and polyethylene screen), each repeated thrice. The study was conducted over 315 days, during which settlemen...

Description
Summary:This study assessed the efficacy of artificial collectors in recruiting Mytella strigata along the Amazon Macrotidal Mangrove Coast. The experiment involved three treatments (PVC plate, PET, and polyethylene screen), each repeated thrice. The study was conducted over 315 days, during which settlement density, bivalve biometry within the collectors, and environmental variables, such as temperature (°C), salinity (g.kg -1 ), chlorophyll-a (mg.m -3 ), particulate organic matter (POM), particulate inorganic matter (PIM) (mg.L -1 ), water transparency (determined using a Secchi disc), and rainfall data (mm), were assessed at 45-day intervals. The recruitment of M. strigata was observed predominantly during the rainy season. Both mussel shell size and average settlement density significantly varied ( p
