I would like to obtain information to model development times at different temperatures of larvae of blue mussels belonging to the Mytilus edulis complex, especially those found in the northwest Atlantic: M. edulis sensu stricto, M. trossulus, and/or their hybrids.

I have found a number of old studies reporting growth (size increase, not development) and survival at different temperatures, and newer studies quantifying growth and development at a few temperatures plus further manipulations (e.g., different pH in ocean acidification studies), but haven't had much luck finding basic temperature-dependent development studies. I.E., a study rearing mussel larvae at multiple controlled temperatures and reporting times or rates of development (total and/or through specific stages). But, surely such information must be out there. Can someone please direct me to some useful sources?
