Relationships of Limnoperna Fortunei with Benthic Animals
2015Similar to other invasive bivalves, Limnoperna fortunei has a variety of effects on other benthic animals. These effects have been studied in the Parana-Paraguay-Uruguay river system, Rio de la Plata estuary, and in the reservoir Embalse Rio Tercero since the invasion of South America by the bivalve. The bulk of information accumulated indicates that L.

Impacts of Limnoperna Fortunei on Zooplankton
2015In addition to phytoplankton, adult Limnoperna fortunei feed actively on animal prey, consuming over 150 different organisms, including Protista, Rotifera, Nematoda, Cladocera, Copepoda, Ostracoda, and L. fortunei larvae. Animals are present in the stomachs of 96 % of the individuals analyzed representing, on average, 67 % of ingested biomass. Rotifers

First record of microplastics in the mussel Limnoperna fortunei
Regional Studies in Marine Science, 2020Abstract The goal of this study was to analyse the presence, abundance, types, size and colours of microplastics (MPs) in the soft tissue of the golden mussel Limnoperna fortunei in the freshwater-mixohaline tidal zone of Rio de la Plata estuary. 240 mussels were analysed and the MPs were observed in the 96% of samples, being more abundant in the ...

Evaluation of a biomarker of Cd(II) exposure on Limnoperna fortunei
Environmental Pollution, 2006The use of organisms to monitor contamination allows the access to information that cannot be acquired by chemical methods. Limnoperna fortunei, mussel frequently found in Río de la Plata estuary, fulfils the requirements to be used as a biomonitoring organism.

Colonization and Spread of Limnoperna fortunei in South America
2015The invasion of the exotic bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857) in South America started with its introduction, presumably with ballast water from transoceanic ships trading with Southeast Asia, in the Rio de la Plata estuary (Argentina) around 1990. From there, it spread swiftly to cover most of the Rio de la Plata basin, as well as the basins of

Population Dynamics and Growth of Limnoperna fortunei
2015During its first year of life, Limnoperna fortunei grows from ~ 10 to > 30 mm in shell length, primarily depending on water temperature. Two-year-old individuals attain 20–30 mm, and 30 mm is usually the largest size, although specimens up to > 50 mm in size have been reported. The life span is 2–3 years. Water temperature, including the season of each

Larval Development of Limnoperna Fortunei
2015Mature sperm cells of Limnoperna fortunei measure about 4 µm, and ova are typically spherical, 80–100 µm in diameter. Forty minutes after spawning, the first polar lobe appears, and the first division occurs 14 min later. Slightly over an hour after spawning, the second polar lobe appears and the second division yields a 4-cell stage.

Control of Limnoperna fortunei Fouling by Thermal Treatments
2015Thermal treatments for the control of mussel fouling can be applied in two different ways: (1) Water temperature can be gradually increased at a specific rate until target organisms die off (acute upper lethal temperature), or (2) animals can be exposed to a constant (high) temperature for periods long enough to achieve 100 % mortality (chronic upper ...

Trophic Relationships of Limnoperna fortunei with Larval Fishes
2015This chapter reviews investigations concerning the importance of veligers of the exotic bivalve Limnoperna fortunei in the diets of larval fish in the Rio de la Plata basin. These studies have shown that of the 25 fish taxa studied, 18 consumed veligers of L. fortunei.

Trophic Relationships of Limnoperna Fortunei with Adult Fishes
2015In South America, the inventory of species that feed on Limnoperna fortunei has increased steadily; in 2006, 18 fish species had been identified as predators of L. fortunei, whereas 7 years later, the list had grown to almost 50 species. In some areas, fishes that consume L.
