Fish predation causes significant Greenshell mussel losses in New Zealand. Experimental caging methods found losses due to predation up to 93% in juveniles (25 – 34 mm SL) over 67 days. However, the overall contribution of predation at other production stages remains unclear.

Mercury levels in Perna viridis from the north coast of Sucre State, Venezuela
Mercury levels were determined in green mussels, Perna viridis, from two localities of Sucre State (Venezuela): Chacopata and Río Caribe. Specimens were captured in the intertidal zone from February to December 2003.

ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Influencing Factors of Conditions for Autolysis of Perna Viridis Protein [PDF]
Abstract The optimal enzymatic conditions obtained by L9 (34) orthogonal experiments were a hydrolysis time of 5 h, hydrolysis temperature of 50 °C, initial pH of 7, and solid/liquid ratio of 1:3. The autolysis conditions of P. viridis protein were studied as a function of the interactions of multiple factors.

The Migratory Behaviour of Juvenile GreenshellTM Mussels (Perna canaliculus)
ABSTRACT Migratory behaviour is a major cause of juvenile mussel (spat) losses, with estimates of 50%–100% in many parts of the world, significantly impacting production efficiency. Reducing spat losses due to their migratory behaviour is essential for improving yields and sustainability, as it can help decrease substantial economic losses, such as the

Glycosylated Hydroxytryptophan in a Mussel Adhesive Protein from Perna viridis [PDF]
The 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-l-alanine (Dopa)-containing proteins of mussel byssus play a critical role in wet adhesion and have inspired versatile new synthetic strategies for adhesives and coatings. Apparently, however, not all mussel adhesive proteins are beholden to Dopa chemistry.

The Evolution of Giant Clam Science: From Foundational Studies to Emerging Frontiers
This review synthesizes nearly two centuries of giant clam research, identifying dominant themes, knowledge gaps, and emerging opportunities. Ecology, physiology, aquaculture, genomics, and biomineralization dominate the field, whereas anatomy and biotechnology remain underexplored. Future progress requires stronger integration of genomics, physiology,

Our study analyzed the population genetics of Anadara tuberculosa (concha negra) in five Panamanian Pacific mangrove areas using the mitochondrial COI gene. We found high haplotypic diversity and low nucleotide diversity, a pattern that suggests a recent demographic expansion, which was supported by our neutrality tests and a star‐shaped haplotype ...

HEAVY METALS (Ni, Cu, Zn AND Cd) CONTENT IN SERUM OF RAT FED GREEN MUSSELS
Green mussel (Perna viridis) can playing role as bio-indicator or biomonitoring agent for heavy-metalcontaminations in the sea. In this research, the concentrations of four elements Ni, Cu, Zn and Cd in P.
