ABSTRACT Seawater velocity, meat content, food availability, and algae toxins were measured in a commercial long-line (200 x 15 m) mussel farm (Mytilus edulis [L]) in Lysefjorden, in southern Norway. The mean current speed decreased rapidly within the farm area during the 4 days current measurements. The current speed 30 m inside the farm was reduced to less than 30% compared with the current speed outside the farm. The reduction was a consequence of friction from the mussels and fa...
