During this period, experimental designs with different types of media were installed throughout the Bay from the city Pyvdenyi to Cape Big Fountain to identify patterns of subsidence and growth of mussels and other aquatic organisms. The quantitative and qualitative composition of the larvae of mollusks and the forage base (zoo and phytoplankton) was evaluated, and the hydrological and hydrochemical conditions of different depths where the mussel carriers was established. It was shown that under existing conditions of the Bay it is possible to use technology for growing young mussels in special nets. The technology has been perfected with regard to the technical features of underwater structures of the mussel farm in the conditions of the northwestern part of the Black Sea, where freezing of the water surface of the sea occasionally occurs during abnormally cold winters. The experiments helped to identify the most productive area in the Odessa Bay, where a highly profitable mussel farm can be built. That will provide hundreds of tons of high quality produce per year and which can completely satisfy Ukraine's domestic market for mussels.  Product Description popup.authors popup.nrat_date 2020-04-02 Close
