Elemental Contamination in Brown Mussels (Perna perna) Marketed in Southeastern Brazil

Biological Trace Element Research, 2021
Perna perna mussels, abundant throughout the Brazilian coast, are routinely applied as bioindicators in environmental monitoring actions due to their sessile and filter-feeding characteristics. In addition, they are noteworthy for their food importance, especially for coastal populations.

Invasive species fouling Perna perna (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) mussel farms

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2022
Invasive, fouling species increase management costs and reduce mussel growth, which jeopardizes mariculture. We studied the distribution of eight invasive species in Santa Catarina, the leading mussel producer in Brazil. Our goals were to determine their spatial distribution and prevalence on farm structures (buoys, long lines, and mussel socks), as ...

A novel cathepsin from the mussel (Perna perna) (Linne)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Comparative Biochemistry, 1988
Abstract 1. 1. Proteases from the digestive gland of the mussel Perna perna were subjected to an isolation procedure similar to that used for mammalian thiol cathepsins. 2. 2. A protease was purified by ammonium sulphate fractionation, molecular exclusion chromatography and ion exchange chromatography on CM-Sephadex. 3. 3.

Some haemato-immunological parameters in the mussel Perna perna

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 1999
The aim of this study was to establish the normal pattern of some haemato-immunological parameters in the mussel Perna perna to serve as a reference for further studies using this species as a biological indicator of environmental contaminants. We investigated the morphology and cytochemistry of the circulating haemocytes of P.

Physioecology of the mussel Perna perna (Mytilidae) in Southern Brazil

Aquaculture, 2007
Abstract The energy budget or scope for growth in bivalves has been applied to economically important species, in studies on the limits of climactic adjustment for a particular ecological niche. This paper presents the physiological rates of respiration, clearance and absorption efficiency of the marine mussel Perna perna , determined during the ...

DNA damage in digestive gland and mantle tissue of the mussel Perna perna

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2003
Data concerning the susceptibility of DNA to damage by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and other endogenous compounds produced by physiological stress in marine organisms is lacking, especially in bivalve mollusks. In this article, we analyzed the background levels of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA), 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine ...

Identification of homologs of the mammalian P-glycoprotein in the mussel, Perna perna

Marine Environmental Research, 2000
Abstract The ATP-binding cassette superfamily of proteins includes various ATP-driven transporters that are structurally characterized by a conserved ATP-binding domain. This family of proteins is able to transport drugs, inorganic ions, amino acids, proteins and sugars, and includes P-glycoprotein (Pgp), which is responsible for multidrug resistance

Population genetics of the brown mussel Perna perna in southern Africa

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1992
We studied geographic variation in the allozyme frequencies of Gpi, Mpi, Pep-1 and Pgd in 14 samples of Perna perna collected over 3700 km from Swakopmund, Namibia to Cape Vidal, South Africa. Unlike other species of mussels, Perna shows a general lack of heterozygote deficits.
