| Notes | The five chapters of this doctoral dissertation address a wide range of issues related to the cultivation of bivalves. Much of the work is concerned with bivalve feeding and ecosystem services in adult and larval bivalves. There are interesting comparisons between the feeding behavior of the native Olympic oyster and the introduced Pacific oyster. The effects of ocean acidification on feeding physiology are also explored. Major professor was Christopher J. Langdon. |
