Fish and mussels: Importance of fish for freshwater mussel conservation [PDF]

Fish and Fisheries, 2017
AbstractCo‐extinctions are increasingly recognized as one of the major processes leading to the global biodiversity crisis, but there is still limited scientific evidence on the magnitude of potential impacts and causal mechanisms responsible for the decline of affiliate (dependent) species.

The effect of deshelled and shell-reduced mussel meal on egg quality parameters of organic laying hens under commercial conditions

Journal of Applied Poultry Research, 2021
Summary: Mussel meal is an alternative feed ingredient that can reduce the gap in available protein-rich feedstuff for organic layer hen diets. Mussel meal production requires high input of energy because of mussel deshelling.

Hydrogen-bonds mediate liquid-liquid phase separation of mussel derived adhesive peptides

Nature Communications, 2022
Marine mussels achieve strong underwater adhesion by depositing mussel foot proteins (Mfps) that form coacervates during the protein secretion. However, the molecular mechanisms that govern the phase separation behaviors of the Mfps are still not fully ...

Evaluation of the Effect of Local Water Chemistry on Trace Metal Accumulation in Puget Sound Shellfish Shows That Concentration Varies With Species, Size, and Location

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Global climate change is causing ocean acidification (OA), warming, and decreased dissolved oxygen (DO) in coastal areas, which can cause physiological stress and compromise the health of marine organisms.

Nonconsumptive Predator Effects on Prey Demography: Recent Advances Using Intertidal Invertebrates

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Predators influence prey demography through consumption, but the mere presence of predators may trigger behavioural changes in prey that, if persistent or intense, may also influence prey demography.
