DEB model for cockles (Cerastoderma edule) in the Oosterschelde

Research output: Book/ReportReportProfessional

Abstract

The natural and cultured shellfish populations in the Oosterschelde are of considerable biological and economical interest. The hydromorphology of the Oosterschelde is continuously changing and adapting in response to natural anthropological and climatological changes. In view of these changes and of possible future developments in the region, questions arise with regard to the impact on the system’s carrying capacity for shellfish populations. Dynamic shellfish models can help to answer these questions. In this study, a Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB) model for cockles (Cerastoderma edule) in the Oosterschelde estuary is presented.
