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

Scientia 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 (

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

Integrated 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 ...

The impacts of As accumulation under different pH levels: Comparing Ruditapes decussatus and Ruditapes philippinarum biochemical performance [PDF]

Environmental Research, 2016
Marine bivalves have been used to assess environmental As contamination and the effects of seawater acidification when both factors are acting alone, but limited information is available regarding the impacts of both factors acting in combination.

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

Ecology 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.

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

Global 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

Strategies to improve the postharvest management of flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) from aquaculture using the short‐term storage and package in an innovative closed‐circuit system

Journal of Food Science, Volume 89, Issue 1, Page 186-201, January 2024.
Abstract This study aimed to improve postharvest management of flat oysters reared in a longline system in the mid Adriatic Sea, using short‐term storage and package in an innovative closed‐circuit system. For the trial, 870 oysters were employed, divided into three experimental groups (A, B, and C), N = 270 oysters each group, whereas the remaining 60

Guests or pests? Eirenid hydroids living on the soft tissue of bivalves

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 16, Issue 1, Page 106-120, January 2024.
Infographic on the life history of Eirenid hydroids (Eutima and Eugymnanthea spp.) living on soft body parts of bivalves (drawings not to scale). A planula (1)—the infecting stage—reaches the bivalve's mantle cavity likely captured by the bivalve's inhalant current.

Carry‐Over Effects of Broodstock Conditioning on the Salinity Tolerance of Embryos of the New Zealand Geoduck (Panopea zelandica)

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
The New Zealand geoduck (Panopea zelandica) has seen considerable interest from the NZ aquaculture industry. A major bottleneck in culturing P. zelandica is early life stages mortality (e.g., embryo). Therefore, in this study, we investigated the embryonic performance and their transition to the first feeding larval stage (D‐veliger) under different ...

Histological study of the gonadal development of Ruditapes decussates (L.) (Mollusca: Bivalvia) and its relationship with available food

Scientia Marina, 2005
This article describes the effects of food availability on the sexual maturation of Ruditapes decussates through histological examination of the gonadal tissue. Three food rations were tested: High (H: 1 mg. organic matter.

Kinetic model of cadmium accumulation and elimination and metallothionein response in Ruditapes decussatus

Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry, 2007
Abstract The aim of the present study was to determine the response of metallothionein (MT) during Cd accumulation and elimination in different tissues of the estuarine bivalve Ruditapes decussatus exposed to two nominal Cd concentrations (4 and 40 μg/L) for 40 d, followed by a depuration period of 50 d.
