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

New 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

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.

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

Fisheries 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.

What are Freshwater Mussels Worth? [PDF]

Freshwater 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.

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

Fisheries 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.

Mussels with luggage: the influence of artificially attached “backpack” devices on mussel movement behavior

Environmental Sciences Europe
Background Freshwater mussels are important keystone and indicator species of aquatic ecosystems. Recent advances in sensor technology facilitate applications to individually track mussels and to record and monitor their behavior and physiology.

High levels of multiple paternity in a spermcast mating freshwater mussel

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
Multiple paternity is an important characteristic of the genetic mating system and common across a wide range of taxa. Multiple paternity can increase within‐population genotypic diversity, allowing selection to act on a wider spectre of genotypes, and ...

Renal Trichodinosis in the Japanese Rice Fish, Oryzias latipes: First Report and Phylogenetic Classification

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Investigation of a disease outbreak in a hobbyist's medaka (Oryzias latipes) collection led to the detection of Trichodina sp. in the kidney tubuli of individual fish. Based on this observation, a thorough clinical workup, including native microscopy, histopathology and molecular genetics, was conducted.
