Blue mussels

Diane Poehls Adams, a guest investigator in the Biology Department, cultures blue mussels (Mytilus edulis) from larvae to mature adults in an effort to learn which are most successful in different marine environments. The aquaculture market is among those targeted by the new agreement between Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and the Regional Technology Development Corp. designed to accelerate the transfer of WHOI technology innovations to industry.
