Are blue mussels declining in the Gulf of Maine? Population trajectories, connectivity, and spatiotemporal variation in reproduction. Dr. Cascade Sorte, University of Massachusetts Boston, Marine Ecology • Laid 50 meter transects along multiple coast lines in the Gulf of Maine to observe mussel population • Positioned 5 random transects along the original transect and measured 0.5 meters up from the tidal height of zero if possible • Used quadrats to observe and identify species abundance of sessile and mobile organisms at each site • Weighed, dissected, and measured the gonads of blue mussels and their shells (GSI) to test their overall reproductive success Show less
