... This ability to retain nitrogen also has the potential to mitigate eutrophication, defined by Nixon
(1995) as an increase in the rate of supply of organic matter to an ecosystem that is related to
human activities, thereby improving water quality (Ostroumov 2005; Coen et al. ...

Abstract: The Atlantic ribbed mussel, Geukensia demissa, is found in salt marshes along the
North American Atlantic Coast. As a first step to study the possibility of future cultivation and
harvest of ribbed mussels for nutrient removal from eutrophic urban environments, the ...
