Preliminary results on the growth and mortality of warty venus Venus Verrucosa )Linnaeus, 1758) in the suspension

At the end of 2007, experiment in the field on growth rate and mortality of warty venus Venus verrucosa was started on the Luka location in the middle part of Mali Ston bay (south Adriatic) aiming to investigate the possibility of commercially culturing this shellfish species. Experimental wire mesh cylindrical cage with 73 collected specimens was placed on the depth of 3 m. Low growth rate and high mortality within the experimental population was recorded during summer period, and the experiment was stopped in the beginning of 2009 because of loss of the cage with remaining specimens.
