Concrete deterioration caused by freshwater mussel Limnoperna fortunei fouling
International Biodeterioration & Biodegradation, 2017Similar as biofouling of Dreissena species (zebra mussels and quagga mussels) on infrastructure concrete prevalent in the USA and Europe, the freshwater mollusk Limnoperna fortunei has also caused biofouling and exhibits chemical and physical deterioration on concrete structures.

Control of Limnoperna fortunei Fouling by Oxygen Deprivation
2015The 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

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.

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.

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.

Control of Limnoperna fortunei Fouling by Desiccation
2015When 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 ...

Distribution and Spread of Limnoperna fortunei in China
2015The 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
2015The 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.
