THE ABSORPTION OF FAT BY FRESHWATER MUSSELS

The Biological Bulletin, 1915
1. Fat which is in solution in water can be absorbed by fresh water mussels.2. Such absorption is accomplished by the epithelium of the intestine and also most probably by that of the gills, mantle and foot.3. Fat is transported both by the blood corpuscles and by the plasma directly.

Ecology, life history and conservation status of Westralunio carteri IREDALE 1934, an endemic freshwater mussel of South-western Australia

, 2012
Westralunio carteri, the only hyriid in south-western Australia, was nominated ‘Vulnerable’ (IUCN) in 1994. The aims of this study were to update the species’ range and determine factors limiting its distribution, quantify tolerance to threats, quantify ...

From shell to shelter: investigating small reef fish abundance on degraded seafloor restored with mussels and shell material

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Reef‐forming shellfish facilitate biodiversity through providing structural complexity in benthic habitats. Globally, reef‐forming shellfish have been overharvested to near extirpation, with a corresponding loss in biodiversity. Mussel shell material, an aquaculture by‐product, has the potential to rehabilitate ecosystem services ...

Advancing Environmental DNA Methods for Monitoring the Reproduction of Quagga and Zebra Mussels in Lakes

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Invasive alien mussels threaten freshwater ecosystems worldwide by disrupting food webs and nutrient cycling. The effective monitoring of these populations is therefore essential to assess their spread and ecological impacts. This study demonstrates the applicability of environmental DNA (eDNA) methods to monitor the reproductive periods of ...

Quantifying Mussel Losses From Fish Predation on New Zealand Greenshell Mussel (Perna canaliculus) Farms

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
Fish predation causes significant Greenshell mussel losses in New Zealand. Experimental caging methods found losses due to predation up to 93% in juveniles (25 – 34 mm SL) over 67 days. However, the overall contribution of predation at other production stages remains unclear.

Clumped isotopes reveal relationship between mussel growth and river discharge

Scientific Reports
Freshwater mussels preserve valuable information about hydrology, climate, and population dynamics, but developing seasonal chronologies can be problematic.

Dispersal and remineralisation of biodeposits: Ecosystem impacts of mussel aquaculture

, 2006
Suspension-feeding bivalves produce biodeposits (faeces and pseudofaeces) that have much higher sinking velocities than their constituent particles. Consequently they cause sedimentation of material that might otherwise not be deposited.

Bacterial Community Composition and Succession During Larval Ontogeny of Cultured Tropical Rock Lobster (Panulirus ornatus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The dynamics within bacterial communities play a significant role in the health, nutrition and disease resistance of tropical rock lobster (Panulirus ornatus) larvae in aquaculture. However, studies on bacterial succession throughout P. ornatus larval development remain limited.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 3, Page 1091-1119, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis
