1 Mussel growth and food utilization in relation to water column conditions on raft systems in Puget Sound, Washington Dan Cheney, Andrew Suhrbier, Aimee Christy, Hector Beltran, Joth Davis, Kenn Brooks and Frank Smith Sea Grant National Marine Aquaculture Initiative Pacific Shellfish Institute, Taylor Shellfish Farms, Penn Cove Shellfish, Aquatic Environmental Science Lab and NorthWest Research Associates PSI/Taylor Shellfish - 1

2 Project Objectives Growth and yield against measured water column parameters Concurrent measurements of feeding and biodeposit production Comparative experiments at differing growout locations Modeling farm scale carrying capacity PSI/Taylor Shellfish - 2

3 Key Environmental Issues Effects of suspended shellfish culture in PS on: Physical and chemical characteristics of the water column Phytoplankton and zooplankton The benthos Native species of mussels and other shellfish Fishery resources, especially ESA listed PSI/Taylor Shellfish - 3
