Incredibly proud of the first Honours student I co-supervised, Violet Chilvers, who published her thesis in Aquaculture Research! Her research explored how source, ploidy and thermal regime impact the growth and survival of blue mussel larvae.

This work provides important recommendations for hatcheries, as stable temperatures improve the survival of triploid larvae. Also, while our current pressure shock induction method works well for mussels from Prince Edward Island, the protocol could be optimized for mussels from other regions.
