Life‐Stage–Specific Hematological Profiles in Yellow Mealworm Beetles (Tenebrio molitor): Reference Intervals and Hemocyte Characterization

open access: yesVeterinary Clinical Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The edible insect industry, driven by the nutritional and environmental benefits of mealworms, faces increasing challenges from pathogens affecting Tenebrio molitor farming systems. Hemocyte‐based health assessments could provide valuable diagnostic insights, yet standardized hemolymph processing protocols and hematological ...

Using Natural Fibres and Indigenous Knowledge to Develop Alternatives to Plastic Ropes Used in Mussel Aquaculture

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Aquaculture relies extensively on plastic materials, creating a need for lower‐plastic alternatives that retain the functional properties required for production. This study combined mātauranga Māori and science to identify natural plant fibres suitable for manufacturing mussel ropes and to evaluate their ability to catch and retain Greenshell mussel ...

The Use of Suspended Substrate to Facilitate Juvenile Mussel Recruitment in Restored Mussel Reefs

open access: yesNew Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 4, December 2026.
Mussel reefs have been depleted globally by overfishing and habitat degradation, but the advent of reef restoration has produced promising results in terms of adult mussel survival and biodiversity enhancement. However, an absence of juvenile recruitment into restored mussel reefs is regularly cited as jeopardising their persistence and expansion. This

Climate Vulnerability of Australian Seafood Systems: A National Assessment of Exposure and Adaptive Capacity

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 849-864, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine waters are becoming warmer and acidified and experiencing more intense and longer heatwaves under climate change. These changes are already impacting marine ecosystems and seafood production, which are vital for supporting food security and economic productivity.

THE ABSORPTION OF FAT BY FRESHWATER MUSSELS

open access: yesThe 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.

Interactive Effects of Elevated Temperature and Moderate Hypoxia on a Shallow‐Water Bivalve, Fulvia mutica

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 35, Issue 6, Page 946-961, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Amid progressing climate change, this study investigated the interactive effects of water temperature, dissolved oxygen (DO), and shell length on Fulvia mutica, a shallow‐coastal water bivalve, focusing on the combined impacts of elevated temperature and moderate hypoxia.

Comparison of Gut Bacterial Communities in the Freshwater Mussel Sinanodonta woodiana at Different Life Stages

open access: yesDiversity
Freshwater mussels hold significant ecological and economic value. Gut bacterial communities can regulate the growth and immunity of freshwater mussels. However, the dynamics of gut bacterial communities in freshwater mussels at different life stages are

What are Freshwater Mussels Worth? [PDF]

open access: yesFreshwater Mollusk Biology and Conservation, 2017
Historically, little thought was given to the value of freshwater mussels when making decisions that affected these animals and their habitats, even though these values may be considerable, and may be greatly changed by environmental alterations. Here, I review several kinds of values provided by freshwater mussels.
