How can ocean warming at the NW Iberian Peninsula affect mussel aquaculture?
Des, M.; Gómez-Gesteira, M.; deCastro, M.; Gómez-Gesteira, L.; Sousa, M. C.Understanding and forecasting future consequences of climate change in mussel aquaculture industry require the assessment of changes in physical parameters which may affect mussel growth. The FLOW module of Delft3D model forced with climatic data was validated and calibrated for the Rías Baixas (NW Iberian Peninsula), one of the areas with the highest mussel production in the world. This model was used to perfo...

Des, M.; Martínez, B.; deCastro, M.; Viejo, R. M.; Sousa, M. C.; Gómez-Gesteira, M.In the current scenario of climate change characterized by a generalized warming, many species are facing local extinctions in areas with conditions near their thermal tolerance threshold. At present, the southern limit of the geographical distribution of several habitat-forming algae of cold-temperate affinities is located in the Northwest Iberian Peninsula, and the Rías Baixas may be acting as contemporary re...
