Bivalve fisheries in Andhra Pradesh [PDF]

, 2019
In India states like Kerala and Karnataka have a flourishing bivalve fishery driven by demand for bivalve meat. However, in states like Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu bivalve meat consumption is very negligible and demand is driven by the lime and ...

Comparative Genomics of Pinna rudis and Pinna nobilis Reveals Conserved and Divergent Features of the Bivalve Defensome

Ecology and Evolution
The fan mussels Pinna nobilis and Pinna rudis have received increasing attention due to the mass mortality events (MMEs) that have severely impacted P. nobilis populations in the last decade. Strikingly, P. rudis was not affected by these events.

Phylogenomic analysis of ultraconserved elements clarifies relationships and morphological evolution in Cryptoplacoidea (Mollusca: Polyplacophora)

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract Targeted enrichment of ultraconserved elements (UCEs) is a powerful tool for resolving phylogeny in groups with limited morphological or molecular data. Here, we use UCEs to reconstruct the first comprehensive phylogeny of the chiton superfamily Cryptoplacoidea, including museum material up to 133 years old.

Chasing Pinna nobilis Survivors: Current Status in Spanish Open Coastal Waters

Animals
The largest and endemic bivalve of the Mediterranean Sea, Pinna nobilis, is on the brink of extinction after a mass mortality event (MME) that has affected its populations since autumn 2016.

Bivalve carrying capacity in coastal ecosystems [PDF]

, 1998
carrying capacity of suspension feeding bivalves in 11 coastal and estuarine ecosystems is examined. Bivalve carrying capacity is defined in terms of water mass residence time, primary production time and bivalve clearance time. Turnover times for the 11

Clues of ancient incomplete lineage sorting during bivalve evolution undermine support for Heterodonta

Cladistics, EarlyView.
Abstract A long‐standing challenge in phylogenomics has been the resolution of relationships originated from ancient radiations. In these cases, phenomena such as incomplete lineage sorting can increase the support for conflicting resolutions. Most of the diversity in the Class Bivalvia originated during an Ordovician radiation; indeed, several deep ...

Extreme site fidelity in long‐distance migratory shorebirds in Australia and potential implications for conservation

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Site fidelity is the tendency for animals to repeatedly return to the same locations, either within or between years. Site fidelity enables animals to utilize knowledge of previously visited locations, including assessments of seasonal variations in health and mortality risks (e.g., predation), resource availability, and social benefits such ...

Unravelling the Chemical Nature of the Spawning-Inducing Pheromone (SIP) in the Pacific Oyster (Magallana gigas)

Fishes
In external fertilisation, spawning synchrony is often mediated by pheromones. However, their chemical nature is rarely well-established; this is particularly true for bivalves. This study used an electrophysiological technique—the electro-osphradiogram (

Examining the Impact of Derelict Pots on Blue Crab (Callinectes sapidus) Catch and Harvest Within a Recreational Fishery

Fisheries Management and Ecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Derelict fishing gear can negatively affect marine ecosystems through mortality in coastal environments. This study explored the impact of derelict and active crab pots on recreational blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) catch rates and landings in a Mid‐Atlantic estuary by deploying experimental pots in four habitat strata within three sections ...
