Effect of bivalve filter feeders on bacteria and seston and related abiotic factors of the water in oyster cultures (Gazi Bay) and mussel beds (Wadden Sea) sampled in 1993 and 1994 Citable as data publication Mwangi S.N.; Vosjan J.H.; Fundamental and Applied Marine Ecology Post Graduate Program (FAME). VUB: Belgium; Netherlands Institute for Sea Research: The Netherlands; (2016): Effect of bivalve filter feeders on bacteria and seston and related abiotic factors of the water in oyster cultures (Gazi Bay) and mussel beds (Wadden Sea) sampled in 1993 and 1994. https://doi.org/10.14284/139 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description Bacteria abundances and abiotic data of the water flowing through oyster cultures in Gazi Bay (Kenya) and mussel beds in the Wadden Sea (Netherlands) sampled in 1993 and 1994. The data were digitized by VLIZ from the original report: Mwangi, S. N. (1994). The influence of bivalve filter feeders on bacteria populations and seston in Gazi bay and Wadden Sea. MSc Thesis. Vrije Universiteit Brussel: Brussel. 88, appendix pp. more This study investigated the effect that bivalve filter feeders had on the bacteria and seston concentration of the water that flowed through their beds, the tidal influence on food availability for the bivalves and seasonal changes of bacteria and seston concentrations. The study was carried out in an oyster culture plot in Gazi bay, Kenya and in the Dutch Wadden Sea where intensive mussel culture is carried out.
