Technological procedure of mussel farming Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819

U ovom završnom radu je predstavljen važni jadranski školjkaš, dagnja Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819. U uvodnom dijelu opisana je povijest uzgoja školjkaša, posebno duga tradicija uzgoja dagnje. Španjolska i Grčka su jedne od najvećih proizvođača dagnji u Europi. U Hrvatskoj uzgoj dagnji ima dugu povijest, a tehnologija uzgoja se temelji na tradicionalnom načinu uzgoja. No, uzgajivači ističu potrebu za modernizacijom proizvodnje s ciljem skraćivanja uzgojnog ciklusa i lakšeg manipulativnog rada. U radu se obrađuju opće biološke karakteristike vrste, način rasta, reprodukcija i životni ciklus. Detaljno se iznosi tijek uzgojnog ciklusa, prihvat ličinki na kolektore, razvoj mlađi i rast do tržišne veličine dagnje. Također, opisana je moguća pojava različitih bioagresora koji predstavljaju opasnost u uzgoju, te sindromi koji se mogu javiti kod ljudi uslijed konzumiranja kontaminiranih jedinki. This thesis presents an important Adriatic species, mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819. The introductory part describes a history of shellfish farming, especially the long tradition of mussel farming. Spain and Greece are one of the largest producers of mussels in Europe. Croatia has a long history of mussel farming, with the cultivation tehnology still based on the tradicional way of farming. However, the farmers emphasize the need to modernize production in order to shorten the farming cycle and easily manipulate the farming process. This thesis deals with the general biological characteristic of the species, growth, reproduction and life cycle. Furthermore, a special review in the paper refers to the course of the mussel reproduction cycle, the reception of larvae on the collectors, the development of young mussels and growth to marketable size. Moreover, the paper deals with issues related to the appearance of various bioaggressors that can be danger in farming and also syndromes that can occur in humans due to the consumption of contaminated shellfish.
