Latin American Journal of Aquatic Research, 2014 The sperm ultrastructure has been used to solve several systematic and phylogenetic problems in marine invertebrates. The sperm ultrastructure of the Chilean mussel Mytilus chilensis and Mytilus galloprovincialis corresponds to the ect-aquasperm type ...

Detection of Cyclic Imine Toxins in Dietary Supplements of Green Lipped Mussels (Perna canaliculus) and in Shellfish Mytilus chilensis [PDF]
Toxins, 2020 Seafood represents a significant part of the human staple diet. In the recent years, the identification of emerging lipophilic marine toxins has increased, leading to the potential for consumers to be intoxicated by these toxins.

Saxitoxin Modulates Immunological Parameters and Gene Transcription in Mytilus chilensis Hemocytes. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2015 Saxitoxin (STX) is a neurotoxin produced by dinoflagellates in diverse species, such as Alexandrium spp., and it causes paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) in humans after the ingestion of contaminated shellfish. Recent studies have suggested that the immune functions of bivalves could be affected by harmful algae and/or by their toxins.

Nocturnal seston: A key to explain the cadmium transfer from seawater to mussels (Mytilus chilensis)
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2023 The objective of this work was to discover a biochemical pathway to explain the transfer of cadmium, a toxic element, from seawater to cultured mussels. Understanding the intricacies of this transfer is crucial for global mussel crops, as it has the potential to mitigate risks to human health and prevent economic losses in the industry.

Saxitoxin Group Toxins Accumulation Induces Antioxidant Responses in Tissues of Mytilus chilensis, Ameghinomya antiqua, and Concholepas concholepas during a Bloom of Alexandrium pacificum [PDF]
Antioxidants, 2022 Saxitoxin (STX) group toxins consist of a set of analogues which are produced by harmful algal blooms (HABs). During a HAB, filter-feeding marine organisms accumulate the dinoflagellates and concentrate the toxins in the tissues.

Erroneous identification of the mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck 1819) as the specie, Mytilus chilensis (Hupe 1854) in the Bay of Concepcion, Chile [PDF]
Gayana (Concepción), 2012 Esta comunicacion informa que la presencia de Mytilus chilensis (Hupe 1854) citada en la literatura cientifica para la costa de la Bahia de Concepcion (Chile) no es correcta, siendo Mytilus galloprovincialis (Lamarck 1819) la identificacion taxonomica valida.

Population Genetic Divergence among Worldwide Gene Pools of the Mediterranean Mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis [PDF]
Animals, 2023 The Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis is distributed in both hemispheres either natively or introduced. The updated population genetic distribution of this species provides a useful knowledge against which future distribution shifts could be

Epigenetic signatures of local adaptation: differential expression of long non-coding RNAs in reciprocally transplanted Mytilus chilensis [PDF]
Frontiers in ImmunologyGenetic variation alone does not fully explain how marine organisms adapt locally; epigenetic mechanisms such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) may also contribute.
