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

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

Physiological and metabolic responses of Limnoperna fortunei to KMnO4 and NaClO exposure
Water environment researchBiofouling of Limnoperna fortunei causes increment on water conveyance energy and deteriorates concrete during freshwater transportation process. Apart from application of chemical oxidants such as KMnO4 and NaClO, few other strategies can control L ...

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

Vulnerability of microcrustaceans to predation by the invasive filter-feeding mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker) [PDF]
Marine and Freshwater Behaviour and Physiology, 2011 Limnoperna fortunei is an Asian mussel introduced to South America around 1990. One of the most important impacts of this invader is probably its grazing on the plankton.

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 ...
