Activity Dependence of a Novel Lectin Family on Structure and Carbohydrate-Binding Properties
A GalNAc/Gal-specific lectins named CGL and MTL were isolated and characterized from the edible mussels Crenomytilus grayanus and Mytilus trossulus. Amino acid sequence analysis of these lectins showed that they, together with another lectin MytiLec-1 ...

Human harvesting of Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819, on the central coast of Portugal
The Mediterranean mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819, has traditionally been removed from the shore by humans in coastal areas to supplement diet, for commerce or for bait. On exposed rocky shores of the central coast of Portugal, humans are

Freshwater mussels house a diverse mussel-associated leech assemblage [PDF]
AbstractFreshwater mussels (Unionida) are one of the most imperiled animal groups worldwide, revealing the fastest rates of extinction. Habitat degradation, river pollution and climate change are the primary causes of global decline. However, biological threats for freshwater mussels are still poorly known.

Investigating Dissolved Glucose as an Alternative Nutrient Source for Bivalve Larvae
The production of live microalgae represents a major cost in the operation of bivalve hatcheries, as it is the primary food used for larval rearing. This study investigated whether dissolved glucose could reduce the reliance on live microalgae as a sole ...

Spatial habitat patterning of the freshwater pearl mussel, Margaritifera margaritifera, in the River Rede, North East England. [PDF]
Habitat degradation is prevalent in freshwater ecosystems and acts at multiple scales to impact biodiversity. It has severe consequences for the endangered freshwater pearl mussel (Margaritifera margaritifera). Due to this species’ ecological importance,
