By means of growth cages, individual shell growth of three cohorts, with, respectively, initial shell lengths of </=5 mm, 10 mm and 15 mm, was monitored in the harbour of Antwerp, Belgium, during 2003 - 2004. <i>M. leucophaeata</i> followed an oscillatory growth pattern with a single summer growing period per year (May to August). Growth decreased during wintertime, but never ceased completely. <i>M. leucophaeata</i> has an average growth rate of <3 - 6 mm year<sup>-1</sup>. Temperature was found to be the main environmental factor affecting growth. The von Bertalanffy growth function was used to model growth of individuals </=5 mm, resulting in Linfinity = 16.7 mm and K = 0.56. Based on a combination of growth of all three cohorts, the hypothetical growth of an average individual mussel could be modelled over a 5-year period, resulting in a maximum length >19 mm with a growth rate of 0.41. Its longevity (more than 5 years) and the positive effect of higher water temperatures on growth, combined with its high resistance to chlorination, provides <i>M. leucophaeata</i> with a high potential for severe and long-lasting biofouling.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AM","StandardTitle":"Growth patterns of <i>Mytilopsis leucophaeata</i>, an invasive biofouling bivalve in Europe","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2025-07-02 08:33:14.980000","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+00:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Mytilopsis leucophaeata; growth; Westerschelde; temperature","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2007,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2018-04-16","DateCreate":"2007-02-01","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":0,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":107266,"PubliDate":2007,"Pagination":"91-109","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":null,"Issue":null,"BRefMon":107257,"BRefMonRR":"<b>Verween, A.</b> (2007).
