Some properties of habituation of siphon withdrawal in the slimy clam (Ruditapes decussatus).

Behavioural Processes, 2022
A first approximation to the study of learning processes in bivalves is presented. A habituation procedure was developed using the slimy clam Ruditapes decussatus.

Assessment of Risks Associated with Extreme Climate Events in Small-Scale Bivalve Fisheries: Conceptual Maps for Decision-Making Based on a Review of Recent Studies

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Extreme climate events, such as heatwaves and torrential rain, affect the physiology and functioning of marine species, especially in estuarine habitats, producing severe ecological and socioeconomic impacts when the affected species support important ...

Comparative Assessment of Fatty Acids in Clams From Capo Peloro Lagoon (Sicily). [PDF]

Food Sci Nutr
The total fat content and fatty acid profile were evaluated in three species of edible clam (R. decussatus, P. aureus and C. glaucum) from the Capo Peloro and Oliveri‐Tindari lagoons in Sicily, as well as in R. decussatus from two Sardinian lagoons. All species exhibited a high saturated fatty acid content, a good level of DHA, and high‐quality lipids.

Metallothioneins in the clam Ruditapes decussatus: an overview [PDF]

Analusis, 2000
coastal waters. Due to its economic importance it is extensively cultured in many countries, and particularly in Portugal where its production represents > 80 % of total shellfish production. The selection of the clam R. decussatus as a bioindicator was a consequence of its economic importance and the need to use a filter-feeding bivalve to evaluate ...

Toxicity of silver nanoparticles on the clam Ruditapes decussatus assessed through biomarkers and clearance rate

Materials Research Express, 2021
The current bioassay aims the evaluation of the ecotoxicity of the silver nanoparticles (NPs) (100 and 200 μ g l ^−1 ) on Ruditapes decussatus after 48 h and 7 days of its exposure.

Marine pollution by some heavy metals and physiological response of Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]

Journal of Bioscience and Applied Research, 2018
Bivalves can accumulate toxicants such as heavy metals in their tissues, for this reason, they are considered as good bio-indicators for water quality. The risk is increased due to eating these clams raw or lightly cooked.

An infection of Ruditapes decussatus (Bivalvia) by Rickettsia [PDF]

Aquaculture, 1987
The authors report the presence of a Rickettsia in Ruditapes decussatus from natural populations of the Algarve (Portugal). Light microscopic shows infections of varying importance in gill tissues. Some enclose small procaryotic colonies (cp) scattered in all lamellae; in others, the colonies are scarce and hypertrophic (100 mu m).

Pre-induction of Hsp70 expression to protect the grooved carpet shell clam, Ruditapes decussatus, against Micrococcus luteus: A trained immunity strategy

Egyptian Journal of Aquatic Research, 2020
Bacterial pathogens cause disease-associated mortality in Ruditapes decussatus, a model bivalve for aquaculture in Egypt. In this study, it was hypothesized that trained immunity could be achieved to enhance disease resistance against Micrococcus luteus ...

Isolation and characterisation of metallothionein from the clam Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]

Aquatic Toxicology, 2003
Metallothioneins (MT) were obtained after purification from metal-exposed clams (Ruditapes decussatus) using gel-permeation and ion-exchange chromatography. Four cadmium-metallothioneins (CdMTs) were resolved by ion-exchange chromatography and they all had similar molecular weights, high cadmium content and an absorption spectra indicative of the ...

Ubiquitination and carbonylation as markers of oxidative-stress in Ruditapes decussatus [PDF]

Marine Environmental Research, 2008
Environmental pollutants, such as metals, are widespread in aquatic environments and can lead to the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS). ROS are highly toxic in marine species since they can cause serious reversible and irreversible changes in proteins including ubiquitination and modifications such as carbonylation. This study aimed to confirm
