Control of Limnoperna fortunei Fouling by Oxygen Deprivation

2015
The only detailed survey aimed at assessing the efficacy of oxygen deprivation for controlling fouling by the golden mussel indicates that, at dissolved oxygen levels < 0.16 mg/L, total mortality is achieved after 10–12 days (at 27 °C) to 21–29 days (at 20 °C). At 20 °C (but not at 27 °C), small (7 mm) mussels are significantly less tolerant than large

Limnoperna Fortunei Colonies: Structure, Distribution and Dynamics

2015
Settlement of new recruits of Limnoperna fortunei occurs preferentially on areas already colonized by conspecifics, and on surfaces with well-developed periphytic biofilms. Hard substrata (immobile rocks, wood) are preferred by the mussel, but colonization can also take place on muddy areas stabilized by roots or fibrous debris, on floating and ...

Distribution and Spread of Limnoperna fortunei in China

2015
The native range of Limnoperna fortunei is the Pearl River basin in China. From there, the mussel was transferred by ships during the 1960s–1970s to the estuaries of the rivers in the Fujiang and Zhejiang regions and the Yangtze River. After 1980, its range expanded to the Huaihe, Yellow, and Haihe River basins. In 1980, L.

Colonization and Spread of Limnoperna fortunei in Japan

2015
The golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857), is an invasive freshwater bivalve native to continental China. In Japan, it was first found in Lake Biwa in 1992. In the 2000s, it began to be found in eastern Japan, including in the Tokai and Kanto regions. One possible route for the arrival of L.

Control of Limnoperna fortunei Fouling by Desiccation

2015
When exposed to air, Limnoperna fortunei can survive between 3 and > 10 days, larger individuals being more resilient than small ones. Desiccation can constitute an innocuous, cost-effective nonchemical control strategy for freshwater fouling mussels, but in order to be applicable, fouled components must be taken off-line for variable periods of time ...

Parallels and Contrasts Between Limnoperna fortunei and Species of Dreissena

2015
Limnoperna fortunei (the golden mussel), Dreissena polymorpha (the zebra mussel), and Dreissena rostriformis bugensis (the quagga mussel) are considered among the most aggressive freshwater invaders. All three species share several biological traits, such as their sessile mode of life attached to hard substrata by a byssus (although quagga mussels can ...

Behavior and Taxis of Young and Adult Limnoperna fortunei

2015
Young and adult specimens of Limnoperna fortunei exhibit crawling, climbing, and aggregating behavior, and they are able to resecrete byssal threads when they become detached from the substratum or from other mussels. Smaller mussels have greater motility and produce more byssal threads than the larger ones.

Antioxidant defences and haemocyte internalization in Limnoperna fortunei exposed to TiO2 nanoparticles

Aquatic Toxicology, 2016
TiO2 nanoparticles (TiO2-NP) have been incorporated into a large range of materials for different applications in the last decades and are very likely to appear in wastewater and effluents, eventually reaching the aquatic environment. Therefore, the assessment of the biological impact of TiO2-NP on aquatic ecosystem is of a major concern.

Control of Limnoperna fortunei Fouling: Antifouling Materials and Coatings

2015
Biochemical and molecular biological studies on Limnoperna fortunei adhesive proteins indicate that marine and freshwater mussels share several essential molecular traits involving oxidation of tyrosine residues to generate both adhesive force (surface coupling) and cohesive force (protein cross-linking in adhesive plaque matrices).

Ecology and Environmental Impact of Limnoperna fortunei: Introduction

2015
Comparisons between Limnoperna fortunei and much more thoroughly researched Dreissena species have been helpful in orienting work on the golden mussel, but they also encouraged unwarranted extrapolations to L. fortunei of ecological traits and effects of the zebra mussel on the systems invaded.
