Gilthead seabream predation on mussel farms: a growing conflict
The cultivation of mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) is a growing industry worldwide. However, predation by gilthead seabream Sparus aurata has become a significant challenge to mussel growers in Mediterranean causing extensive financial losses. In recent years, a decline in Croatian mussel production has been recorded. Among the many factors that have contributed to the decline of mussel production, i.e. small domestic market, great variability in larval dispersion and settlement, it is suspected that fish predation plays an important role in shellfish sustainability. Recently, wild stock of gilthead seabream has been significantly increased in the eastern Adriatic where effects of global warming, fish escapement through farming and spawning in cages can partially explain such fish expansion. Mussels are a dominant prey item for gilthead seabream, which take advantage of mussel farms that provide a highly abundant and easily accessible food source.
