Sea otter interactions with mariculture oyster farms

The Journal of Wildlife Management, Volume 89, Issue 6, August 2025.
Despite concerns about sea otter (Enhydra lutris) interactions with oyster farms in Alaska, our study found no significant differences in general activity or prey selection between farm and non‐farm areas. However, sea otter prey intake rates varied spatially, with clams, mussels, and crabs dominating their diet.

Non‐Native Species in Aquaculture: Burgeoning Production and Environmental Sustainability Risks

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Rising global food demands and technological advancements have led to unprecedented growth in the aquaculture industry. This rapid expansion has facilitated the translocation of species beyond their native ranges. While farming non‐native species boosts global food supply, it also poses environmental and socio‐economic risks when escapees ...

Temperature-Dependent Rates Of Larval Development In Limnoperna Fortunei (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) [PDF]

Journal of Molluscan Studies, 2005
Laboratory-reared larvae of Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker) were monitored until the morula stage at 268C, and from there on until settlement at 20, 25 and 288C. The first polar lobe is produced c. 40 min after spawning, and the first division occurs 14 min later.

Can the Movement of the Deep‐Sea Bivalve Acesta excavata Lead to a Dynamic Habitat?

Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 3, May/June 2025.
ABSTRACT Acesta excavata is one of the largest and ecologically relevant bivalves along continental margins and is often associated with cold‐water coral assemblages of the upper bathyal zone. Like other habitat‐forming species, A. excavata contributes to increasing the secondary substrata and provides opportunities for the colonization and feeding of ...

The Influence of Aquaculture and a Natural Environmental Gradient on Shell Landmark Variation of the Mediterranean Mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis Lamarck, 1819) From the Eastern Adriatic Sea

Journal of Morphology, Volume 286, Issue 4, April 2025.
We used geometric morphometry to identify shell landmark differentiation in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis across the eastern Adriatic Sea. The results revealed that an elongated shell shape was particularly characteristic of southern populations and those from environments with lower salinity concentrations.

New insights into diversity and evolution of deep-sea Mytilidae (Mollusca: Bivalvia)

Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2010
Bathymodiolinae mussels have been used as a biological model to better understand the evolutionary origin of faunas associated with deep-sea hydrothermal vents and cold seeps. Most studies to date, however, have sampled with a strong bias towards vent and seep species, mainly because of a lack of knowledge of closely related species from organic falls.

Effects of interactions among primary and secondary foundation species on biodiversity and associated community structure

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2025.
Abstract A key foundation species, red mangroves (Rhizophora mangle), and secondary foundation species (oysters, sponges, and barnacles) that reside on mangrove prop roots are abundant along the coastline in subtropical Florida. We hypothesized the Foundation Species Interaction Biodiversity (FSIB) model, which explains the relationships between the ...

Molecular methods confirm the first report of the non-indigenous Perna viridis Linnaeus, 1758 (Mytilida, Mytilidae) in southern Brazil

Check List
The mussel Perna viridis, commonly known as Green Mussel, is native from the Indo-Pacific region and has been introduced in various countries around the globe. In Brazil, the species has already been recorded in Rio de Janeiro and Ceará states. With the aim of assessing the presence of mussels in the southern region of the country,

Temperature Effects on the Distribution of Aragonitic and Calcite‐Secreting Epifaunal Bivalves

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 313-322, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Aim To test if temperature significantly influences the global biogeographic distribution of marine epifaunal bivalves via their skeletal mineralogy. Location Global. Taxa Marine, epifaunal bivalves. Methods The skeletal mineralogy of 45,789 epifaunal bivalve occurrences from 669 species from the Ocean Biodiversity Information System (OBIS ...
