Two modern records of Stramonita haemastoma floridana in Chesapeake Bay, USA

2007
Live southern oyster drills, Stramonita haemastoma floridana (Conrad, 1837), have been collected from two Chesapeake Bay western shore tributaries. Four specimens were collected be- tween Brown Shoal and Thomas Rock in the lower James River in February 2005.

Biomonitoring of the environmental contamination by organotins in the Gulf of Tunis: occurrence of imposex in Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1767)

Marine and Freshwater Research, 2015
Imposex has been observed in several regions of the world to affect many species of prosobranch gastropods such as Stramonita haemastoma (Linnaeus, 1767). This irreversible sexual anomaly is caused mainly by the accumulation of organotin compounds in tissues.

Oyster drill (Stramonita haemastoma complex) habitat preferences in a shallow coastal estuary

Gulf and Caribbean Research
Southern oyster drill snails (Stramonita haemastoma complex) are nuisance organisms within the Gulf of Mexico. This is due to their damaging impact on recovering and farmed oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations, which are one of the drills’ main food sources.

Cellular, biochemical, and molecular characterization of nitric oxide synthase expressed in the nervous system of the prosobranch Stramonita haemastoma (Gastropoda, Neogastropoda)

Journal of Comparative Neurology, 2011
AbstractNitric oxide synthase (NOS) has been characterized in several opistobranchs and pulmonates but it was much less investigated in prosobranchs, which include more than 20,000 species and account for most of the gastropod diversity. Therefore, new data from this large group are needed for a better knowledge of the molecular evolution of NOS ...

Size-specific aspects of the foraging ecology of the southern oyster drill Stramonita haemastoma (Kool 1987)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1997
Abstract Size-related aspects of the foraging ecology of the southern oyster drill, Stramonita haemastoma (Kool 1987), feeding on the oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin) in laboratory experiments were studied. Three sizes of oysters were exposed to three sizes of oyster drills.

The effect of size and epibiotic barnacles on imposex inStramonita haemastomacollected from the northern coast of Tunisia

Marine Biology Research, 2014
AbstractImposex was quantified in Stramonita haemastoma from the Bizerta Channel during a one-year study period and the effect of gastropod size and shell fouling by epibiotic barnacles investigated. Butyltin concentrations (tributyltin (TBT) and its derivatives di- and mono-butyltin) were also investigated in the soft tissue of the gastropods to ...

Multi-biomarkers approach to the assessment of the southeastern Mediterranean Sea health status: Preliminary study on Stramonita haemastoma used as a bioindicator for metal contamination

Chemosphere, 2018
The present study aimed to evaluate the responses of different biochemicals parameters associated with environmental pollution in the digestive gland of the gastropod mollusc Stramonita haemastoma. Physiochemical parameters and trace metal elements (Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr), Cadmium (Cd) and Lead (Pb)) were measured in seawater ...

Histological and Biochemical Evidence of Cr2o3 and Al2o3 Nanoparticles Toxicity in the Marine Gastropod Stramonita Haemastoma: A Preliminary Application of Integrated Biomarker Response (Ibr)

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology
Nanoparticles (NPs) have actively contributed to nanotechnologies advancement over the last years, due to the unique properties they possess compared to their pristine counterparts. Consequently, NPs found wide applications in various fields such as the medical, biomedical, chemical, agro-food industries, and cosmetology. NP's extensive uses could lead

Effects of Cooking on the Nutritional Composition of the Marine Snail Stramonita haemastoma From the Tunisian Mediterranean Coast

Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society
ABSTRACT The impacts of cooking on biochemical, fatty acid composition, and lipid nutritional quality index of the red‐mouthed rock shell Stramonita haemastoma collected from the Channel of Bizerte were examined for the first time.

Feeding habits and phenotypic changes in proboscis length in the southern oyster drill, Stramonita haemastoma (Gastropoda: Muricidae), on Florida sabellariid worm reefs

Marine Biology, 2005
The southern oyster drill, Stramonita (= Thais, Kool 1987) haemastoma, is a common intertidal and subtidal predator in the southeastern United States. It uses specialized feeding structures and foraging strategies to bore holes through the shell of its bivalve prey. However, on the east coast of Florida, S.
