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 ...

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
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

THE ABSORPTION OF FAT BY FRESHWATER MUSSELS
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.

What are Freshwater Mussels Worth? [PDF]
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.
