Ultrasonic waves for the control of Limnoperna fortunei – the golden mussel
Concilium, 2023In order to verify the effect of ultrasonic waves to control the invasion of the golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei, three experiments were made with different numbers of individuals and for each experiment the sonicator device was using at 40kHz frequency.

Effects of ultrasound on invasive golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei mortality and tissue lesions
Science of The Total Environment, 2021Biofouling by the invasive golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei deleteriously affects artificial water systems, but few effective, environmentally friendly antifouling strategies exist. We propose ultrasound for control of this invasive mussel and report minimum exposure times to kill juveniles and adults at ultrasonic powers ranging 300-600 W from a ...

Radioactivity concentrations in sediment and mussel of Bosphorus and Golden Horn
Journal of Radioanalytical and Nuclear Chemistry, 2011In the present study, mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis, Lamarck, 1819) and sediment samples were collected from the Bosphorus strait and the Golden Horn estuary in 2008 and 2009. Activity concentrations of 137Cs, 40K, 232Th and 238U were measured using a gamma spectrometer equipped with HPGe detector.

Gene, 2016
Here we describe the mitochondrial genome of the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei, an Asian bivalve which has become one of the most aggressive invasive species in Japan and South America. The mitochondrial genome of L. fortunei does not present conserved gene arrangement when compared to the other Mytilidae species suggesting a high degree of gene ...

Aquatic Toxicology, 2016
The widespread use of titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NP) in consumer products is the cause of its appearance in wastewater and effluents, reaching the aquatic environment. The evaluation of the biological impact of TiO2-NP and the need to understand its ecotoxicological impact to the aquatic ecosystem are of major concern.

Biological invasions currently pose major threats to ecosystems worldwide. Invasive bivalves such as the Golden Mussel Limnoperna fortunei can act as 'environmental engineers', altering biogeochemistry, reducing biodiversity, and literally changing the landscape of aquatic environments.

The Genetics of the Golden Mussel (Limnoperna fortunei): Are Genes Related to Invasiveness?
2015Successful invasive species often share some ecological traits, such as rapid growth and rapid sexual maturation, both of which are characteristic of Limnoperna fortunei. In addition, phenotypic plasticity, i.e., the capability to express different phenotypes as a response to diverse environmental challenges, may play a fundamental role in the ...

Alternative Strategies for Control of Golden Mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) in Industrial Facilities
2015There are numerous chemically based control strategies for macrofouling by bivalves within piping systems such as those that carry raw water into water treatment plants, cooling water to vital areas of power plants and industrial facilities, and fire protection water in any industry.

In this study we characterized the surface morphology and ultrastructure of the foot of the golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), relating its characteristics to the attaching mechanisms of this mollusk. The observation of the foot of this bivalve reveals the presence of micro-scaled cilia with a unique shape, which has a narrowing at its ...
