Effects of chlorothalonil on the antioxidant defense system of mussels Perna perna
Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2020 Chlorothalonil is an effective fungicide used in agriculture and formulations of antifouling paints, which use and possible toxicity has been generating great concern. Thus, the present study investigated the effects of chlorothalonil on the antioxidant defense system (ADS) of the mussel Perna perna.

Comparative performance of the mussels Perna perna and Perna viridis, cultivated at four different depths [PDF]
Brazilian Journal of Oceanography, 2016 Abstract This study aims to evaluate the effect of environmental variability on the growth and survival of the subtropical and tropical mussels Perna perna and Perna viridis at four different culture depths in the Gulf of Cariaco during an annual cycle. Juveniles of P. perna (39.1±1.88 mm in shell length) and P.

Biogeographical patterns of endolithic infestation in an invasive and an indigenous intertidal marine ecosystem engineer [PDF]
, 2019 By altering the phenotypic properties of their hosts, endolithic parasites can modulate the engineering processes of marine ecosystem engineers. Here, we assessed the biogeographical patterns of species assemblages, prevalence and impact of endolithic ...
