Seascape Genetics and Distinct Intraspecific Diversification of the Decapod Nephrops norvegicus in the Adriatic Sea

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 10, October 2024.
In the present study, the impact of biogeographical boundaries on the phylogeographical and demographic population status of Nephrops norvegicus was investigated within the Adriatic Sea, addressing important genetic indices for decapod functional conservation management.

Partial Substitution of Fresh Microalgae with Baker’s Yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) Enhances the Growth of Juvenile Ostrea edulis and Ruditapes decussatus

open access: yesProceedings
The hatchery culture of bivalve mollusks depends on feeding with fresh microalgae which represent up to 50% of the production costs. We investigated the growth performance of juvenile Ostrea edulis and Ruditapes decussatus under 15% and 30% replacement ...

Interspecific variability of endocrine disruption and oxidative stress in two bivalve species from the Ria Formosa Lagoon (south coast of Portugal)

open access: yesScientia Marina, 2013
Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems that have been increasingly affected by anthropogenic activities. In this study, the presence of endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) and their relation to oxidative stress were assessed in two bivalve species (

Update of the risk assessment of brominated phenols and their derivatives in food

open access: yesEFSA Journal, Volume 22, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract The European Commission asked EFSA to update its 2012 risk assessment on brominated phenols and their derivatives in food, focusing on five bromophenols and one derivative: 2,4,6‐tribromophenol (2,4,6‐TBP), 2,4‐dibromophenol (2,4‐DBP), 4‐bromophenol (4‐BP), 2,6‐dibromophenol (2,6‐DBP), tetrabrominated bisphenol S (TBBPS), tetrabromobisphenol S

Importance of integrating mixoplankton into marine ecosystem policy and management—Examples from the Marine Strategy Framework Directive

open access: yesIntegrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 5, Page 1366-1383, September 2024.
Abstract Marine plankton capable of photosynthesis and predation (“mixoplankton”) comprise up to 50% of protist plankton and include many harmful species. However, marine environmental management policies, including the European Union Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) and the USEPA, assume a strict dichotomy between autotrophic phytoplankton ...

Internal transcribed spacer as effective molecular marker for the detection of natural hybridization between the bivalves Pinna nobilis and Pinna rudis

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
The Pinna nobilis, a Mediterranean mollusc, has suffered population declines due to a mortality event linked to the parasite Haplosporidium pinnae, though some populations show resilience. This study developed a molecular multiplex‐PCR method using species‐specific primers to accurately identify P. nobilis, P. rudis, and their hybrids.

Reproductive Biology and Biochemical Composition of the Reared European Clam Ruditapes decussatus (Mollusca: Bivalvia) in Oualidia Lagoon, Morocco

open access: yesOceans
The reproductive cycle of the European clam Ruditapes decussatus reared in suspended double-net trays in the Oualidia Lagoon was investigated from October 2017 to February 2019.

Assessing the effectiveness of marine nature‐based solutions with climate risk assessments

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 30, Issue 5, May 2024.
Despite the increasing demand for nature‐based solutions (NBS) to mitigate climate change impacts, we still lack a comparable way to estimate their effectiveness. Here we present a methodology for the estimation of the effectiveness of marine NBS based on the difference of risk estimated when they are applied and when they are not. The effectiveness is

Questioning the use of repeated nuclear DNA markers for assessing hybrids in marine bivalves: a case-study in Ruditapes spp. clams

open access: yesAquatic Living Resources
Reliable inferences of interspecific hybridization require the use of diagnostic Mendelian markers and, preferably, multilocus approaches in order to distinguish true hybrids and backcrosses from artifacts that may be generated by other types of markers,

POSSIBLE INFLUENCE OF NATURAL EVENTS ON HEAVY METALS EXPOSURE FROM SHELLFISH CONSUMPTION: A CASE STUDY IN THE NORTH-EAST OF ITALY

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health, 2015
The objective of this study was the estimation of the exposure over time to heavy metals (cadmium, mercury and lead) due to shellfish consumption in the Veneto Region, Italy.
