Production indicators of Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819.) grown in conditions of integrated farming with fish

Integrirana akvakultura predstavlja kohabitaciju različitih akvatičnih organizama na različitim trofičkim razinama. Ovakav vid uzgoja akvatičnih organizama postupno se upoznava te širi diljem svijeta kao i na Mediteranu. Provođenjem niza manjih istraživanja došlo je do spoznaje da se integriranom akvakulturom postižu bolji rezultati u ukupnoj proizvodnji u marikulturi, kao i smanjenje negativnog utjecaja na morski okoliš koji monokulturom biva stvoren. Ovim radom prikazana je mogućnost provođenja integriranog uzgoja različitih akvatičnih organizama na različitim trofičkim razinama, te utjecaj organskih tvari unesenih kaveznim uzgojem ribe na indeks kondicije i prirast mediteranske dagnje (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Linnaeus, 1758). Također su u radu prikazani rezultati dobiveni tijekom petomjesečnog istraživanja koje je započelo u listopadu 2015. te završilo u veljači 2016. godine u akvatoriju otoka Vrgade u blizini uzgajališta bijele ribe.Integrated aquaculture presents cohabitation of the different aquatic organism on the different trophic levels. That form of aquatic organism farming is progressively spread all over the world, as well as on Mediterranean. Following a number of smaller research, conclusion is that integrated aquaculture achieves better results in overall production, as well as reduction of negative influence on maritime environment comparing to the monoculture, This study showed possibility of integrated farming different aquatic organism on different trophic level and the influence of organic materials brought by cage farming of the fish on index of condition and growth the Mediterranean mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Linnaeus, 1758). Also in the study are shown the results obtained by five month research that began in October 2015. and was finished in February 2016. The research took place in the aquatorium of the island Vrgada, close to the one white fish farm
