Abstract
The article presents the results of cultivating commercial invertebrates with two species of alge (kelp): Saccharina japonica and Saccharina cichorioides on seaweed plantations in Primorsky Krai, as well as keeping salmon: masu salmon Oncorhynchus mason and chum salmon Oncorhynchus keta in a Bridgestone fish cage. It was found that masu salmon is more suited for cage keeping than chum salmon. Cage culture of Japanese scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis and its non-transplantation culture in rarefied collector - cages (CC) at the Whale Bay kelp farm showed the advantage of non-transplantation culture. In CC, in addition to M. yessoensis, the Pacific mussel Mytilus trossulus reached a commercial size, but the Swift’s scallop Swiftopecten swiftii and the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius reached a viable size, suitable for sowing on the sea floor. Co-cultivation of invertebrates and algae has a mutually beneficial effect on the production indicators of these mariculture objects.
Keywords: Cultivation of M. yessoensis, M. trossulus, S. swiftii, S. intermedius, S. japonica and S. cichorioides on algae plantations of Primorsky Krai, Sea of Japan
