Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2021
This study investigated the microplastic (MPs) contamination of the mussels, P. viridis and P. perna of different sizes, and their environment viz. water and sediment. MPs were recovered from the soft tissues of both species. The mean abundance of MPs ranges from 0.87 ± 0.55 to 10.02 ± 4.15 items/individual; 0.1 ± 0.03 to 2.05 ± 0.33 items/g; 31.57 ± 7.

Free radicals in the Perna perna mussel shell
Radiation Physics and Chemistry, 2021Abstract This is the first characterization of free radicals in shells of the Perna perna mussel. Six free radicals produced only by X-rays and two produced by X-rays and ultraviolet rays were detected. The free radicals are stable because detection was nine months after irradiation. The shells consist only of aragonite.

Molecular and biochemical effects of the antifouling DCOIT in the mussel Perna perna
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2021Biological fouling is an unwanted phenomenon that results in economic losses to the shipping industry. To prevent fouling, antifouling paints are used. DCOIT (4,5- dichloro-2-n-octyl-4-isothiazolin-3-one) is a biocide present in many antifouling paint formulations, and is toxic to a wide range of organisms.

Elemental Concentrations in the Shells of the Mussel Perna perna: Discrimination of Origin
Biological Trace Element Research, 2023The potential use of elemental concentrations and element:calcium (Ca) ratios as indicators of provenance for bivalve mollusks on the Brazilian coast is evaluated herein for the first time. The approach was applied to shells of the mussel Perna perna (target of extractive fisheries) from geographically close areas but under distinct environmental and ...

First evidence of transcriptional modulation by chlorothalonil in mussels Perna perna
Chemosphere, 2020Gills are considered a key player in organism defenses against environmental pollutants. Since it is the major site of uptake of waterborne chemicals, the modulation of important cellular defenses is expected in this tissue. Chlorothalonil, a fungicide presented in herbicides and antifouling paints, might be responsible for toxicity in marine biota. In

Pigment alterations in the brown mussel Perna perna
Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2008Potential sex and/or gametogenic stage differences in the metabolism of chlorophyll-a and carotenoids in the brown mussel Perna perna of southern Brazil were studied using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Carotenoids derived directly from diet (phytoplankton) were fucoxanthin plus diatoxanthin (diatoms), alloxanthin (cryptophytes) and ...

Vacuum Cooling of Cooked Mussels (Perna perna)
Food Science and Technology International, 2006Mussels pass through a thermal treatment during industrial processing with hot water or steam and then are pre-cooled before the manual extraction of the meat. This pre-cooling is classically accomplished by the immersion of the cooked mussels in cold water.
