Abstract—A mathematical model simulating the growth and development of the mussel Mytilus galloprovin-
cialis Lam. on artificial substrates has been constructed. The model is based on experimental data and contains
mathematical descriptions of the filtration, respiration, excretion, spawning, and growth of an individual during
its ontogenesis from the moment it attaches to a solid substrate to the attainment of a marketable size. The test
computations have been compared to the available observation data for mussel farms.
