Cryopreservation of Limnoperna fortunei (golden mussel) sperm with polyethylene glycol [PDF]
GigaScience, 2018 Background. Insufficient quantities of freshly harvested Limnoperna fortunei gametes and embryos constrain reproduction research in the laboratory. Cryopreservation would allow the accumulation and storage of gametes when they are available.

Effects of conspecifics on settling juveniles of the invasive golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei
Aquatic Sciences, 2009 We conducted a field experiment to assess the influence of conspecific adults on recruitment success of the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei. Tiles, 225 cm2 surface area, were used as artificial substrates in four treatments: control (blank tiles), low (800 mussels m−2), medium (4,000 mussels m−2) and high (12,000 mussels m−2) density treatments ...

A Potential Biocide for Control of the Golden Mussel,Limnoperna fortunei [PDF]
Journal of Freshwater Ecology, 2007 ABSTRACT We assessed to response of larvae of the golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) to different concentrations of a quaternary ammonium polymer (Bulab 6002 ®) in order to estimate its effectiveness in controlling this invasive mussel. Mussels were collected along the coast of the Rio de la Plata, Argentina, and were tested in two laboratory trials ...

Environmental Science & Technology, 2021 Mussel biofouling has become a problem in aquatic ecosystems, causing significant ecological impact and huge economic loss globally. Although several strategies have been proposed and tested, efficient and environment-friendly antifouling methods are still scarce. Here, we investigated the effects of recoverable magnetic ferroferric oxide nanoparticles
