Biology of Mytilus trossulus is investigated in the Vesyolaya Cove, the Tauiskaya Bay on June 16 - September 20, 2011 within experimental studies of its cultivation ability in severe conditions of the northern Okhotsk Sea. In case of so called Spanish cultivation technology or its White Sea modification, the mussels grow to the commercial size (35 mm) in 3-4 seasons. To decrease this time to 1-2 seasons, the breeding technology is applied with the mussels collecting from the littoral substrate and their further breeding in hanged collectors. The mussels growth rate is evaluated both on the littoral substrate and in the collectors. The growth rate becomes lower after the mussels transfer from the littoral substrate to the hanged collectors but increases intensively after their transfer from the collectors to the littoral substrate, being higher that for the originally littoral mollusks. The growth rate dependence on size and age of the mussels is considered.

Abundance, size composition, and terms of plankton stage were investigated for the larvae of pacific mussel in the Veselaya Bay (Okhotsk Sea) in two years with different oceanographic regime. The first larvae (density 8-30 ind./m³, shell length 75–150 μm) appeared in late June in the year with relatively high water temperature (2016) and in early July in the year with lowered temperature (2011), then their number had increased to 1750 ind./m³ in early August of 2016 and to 1320 ind./m³ in late August of 2011. Density and size composition of the spat and young mussels were examined in hanging collectors and nurseries. The growth rate change in dependence on shell length was noted. There is concluded that the hanging collectors are more effective for spat collection, while the nurseries are better for growing of littoral mussels.

The experimental studies were carried out on the fields of the Sumy NAU Training Research and Production Complex (TRPC) during 2016–2018.The soil of the experimental plot is typical deep-medium humus, large-dusty and medium-loam black soil on forest trees. The subject of the research was a white mustard variety of Oslava created at the Institute of Feed and Agriculture of the Podillya NAASU, entered in the Register of varieties suitable for cultivation in Ukraine in 2010. The aim of the research is to optimize the nutrition of the white mustard variety of Oslava through the complex application of mineral fertilizers and foliar fertilization under the conditions of the northeastern forest-steppe of Ukraine. The analysis of weather conditions, in particular the hydrothermal coefficient of Selyaninov (HTC), established that 2016 season was wet (HTC = 1.60), 2017 and 2018 were dry (HTC = 0.59 and 0.46). During the research, the cultivation technology was generally accepted in the experimental area, except for the elements studied. The results of the three-year study on the influence of foliar fertilizing under different mineral nutrition backgrounds on the yield of the white mustard variety Oslava are presented. It was found that the application of mineral fertilizers and complex fertilizers for the foliar feeding had a positive effect on the morphometric parameters of the white mustard, in particular, increased the plant height and the number of branches of the first order. The use of mineral fertilizers at the rate of N30P30K30 provided an increase in the yield by 0.34 t/ha, N60P60K60 – by 0.55 t/ha, N90P90K90 – by 0.61 t/ha on an average compared to the control. Therefore, for the maximum yield (2.14–2.21 t/ha) with a mass of 1000 seeds (5.39–5.54 g) of the white mustard under the conditions of the Northeastern Forest-Steppe of Ukraine, foliar fertilizing of Vuxal boron (3.0 l/ha) + Vuxal bioaminoplant 3.0 l/ha) and Spectrum B + Mo (2.0 l/ha) + Spectrum Ascorist (3.0 l/ha) should be applied on the background of N60-90P60-90K60-90, what provided an increase in the yield compared to the control of 0.58-0.65 t/ha.

Исследована скорость роста культивируемых моллюсков подвесного выращивания в зал. Посьета (зал. Петра Великого, Японское море) за 1970–2011 гг. Приведены ростовые характеристики приморского гребешка (Mizuhopecten yessoensis (Jay, 1857)), тихоокеанской мидии (Mytilus trossulus Gould, 1850) и тихоокеанской (гигантской) устрицы (Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793)) в течение первых трех лет развития. Методами энтропийного анализа исследованы сроки достижения личинками и спатом определенных размеров. Выявлены временные интервалы и рассчитана вероятность наступления этих сроков. Обсуждается влияние техники культивирования на скорость роста. Ключевые слова: скорость роста, личинки, спат, приморский гребешок Mizuhopecten yessoensis, тихоокеанская мидия Mytilus trossulus, тихоокеанская устрица Crassostrea gigas, залив Посьета, Японское море. The growth rates of cultivated mollusks were studied in Possjet Bay (Peter the Great Bay, Sea of Japan) during 1970–2011. The growth characteristics were presented for the Yesso scallop (Mizuhopecten yessoensis (Jay, 1857)), the blue mussel (Mytilus trossulus Gould, 1850), and the Pacific (giant) oyster (Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793)) during the first three years of life. The average amount of time of the larvae and spat reaching certain sizes was determined using the method of entropy analysis. The time intervals were identified and the probability of these intervals to happen were also calculated. The influence of the cultivation techniques on the growth rate is discussed. Key words: growth rate, larvae, spat, Yesso scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis, blue mussel Mytilus trossulus, Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, Possjet Bay, Sea of Japan.
