Spat settlement and growth of blue mussels on longlines in a Faroese fjord

Description

Settlement and growth of blue mussels on three kinds of spat settlement ropes were tested. Fuzzy rope, Trawl and a flat rope commonly used as spat collectors at mussel farms in Denmark. The settlement on the flat rope was very poor, with only a few individuals so the data set consists blue mussel density on the two other spat collectors. The spat collectors were deployed at 0-15 m depth for three years with no restocking. The data is used in the report "Blue mussel spat availability and settlement on longlines in a Faroese Fjord" DOI: 10.5218/zenodo.6563040 and "Ecosystem services by blue mussels in a coastal area" Fiskaaling rit 2022-05
