A company wants to establish suspended cultures of mussels in a natural estuary from which they can farm mussels in a sustainable enterprise. The suspended cultures would keep the mussels contained for easy capture, but would allow free flow of estuary waters in and out of the cultures. The company wants to know the maximum number of mussels they can farm each month and maintain a sustainable system. A biologist has suggested that the limiting factor for mussels is the amount of phytoplankton that the mussels feed on. Identify data that could best be used to either justify or refute this suggestion.a. rates of growth of newly established mussel cultures in a lab under different phytoplankton concentrationsb. phytoplankton population changes in the estuary as a function of intensity and duration of sunlight exposurec. biomasses of natural mussel populations and phytoplankton populations in the estuary determined at many different timesd. lab measurements of phytoplankton biomass in response to added mussel population numbers

it is given that the company wanted to establish suspend culture off muscles in natural history from which they can form ourselves in sustainable enterprise. The weight off growth off newly established in Brussels but in lab under different fighter plant and concentration is not appropriate. Better for this edition. The biomass determination a different time off both the species that is by plankton and our skills is also no ability to sedition. The suspended cultures would keep the muscles contained or easy capture, but would but would allow free flew off estuary borders in and out off the culture, and the current options are auction A, C and E. I bought the direct auction bitches option E. It is given that the limiting factor for the muscles is the amount of fighter plankton that muscles feed on. Therefore, direct option that would justify the suggestion is that population off fighter planting changes in history as the function off in density on duration off sunlight exposure Option B is the correct answer
