Toxic effects of aromatic hydrocarbon mixtures isolated from crude oils to blue mussels (Mytilus edulis)
… isolated from four different crude oils. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) biotest used shows a reduction of mussel feeding activity after 24 h exposure with increasing aqueous and tissue concentrations. The fractions of total and monoaromatic hydrocarbons exert similarly strong toxic effects …

Factors affecting Western Atlantic red knots (Calidris canutus rufa) and their prey during spring migration on Virginia's barrier islands
… that live within the intertidal zone, like blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), are experiencing range shifts. Here, we 1) confirmed what prey red knots select in Virginia, 2) addressed the factors that affect red knot site selection, red knot flock size, and prey abundances across Virginia's …

The effects of biotic and abiotic factors on byssogenesis, growth and movement patterns of the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis
<p>Blue mussels create extensive aggregations on intertidal and low subtidal shores in the Gulf of Maine, in which they modify habitat, trap sediments and create microclimates for many organisms. Mussels are an important aquaculture species worldwide, and play a major part of the economy of New …

Can the pathway of abalone aquaculture effluent be traced using carbon and nitrogen stable isotope analysis of kelp Ecklonia maxima and mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis?
… nitrogen isotopes. Kelp (Ecklonia maxima) and blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) along the coast near the farm (in Jacobsbaai) were collected from 8 sites and used as tracers of the farms effluent. A ninth site was sample in another bay (Mauritzbaai) which functioned as our control. We …

DOES FAT MATTER? Lipidomics investigations during Blue mussel (Mytilus sp.) hatchery production
The blue mussels (Mytilus sp) are an economically important species for European aquaculture, accounting, by weight, for over 50% of the bivalves produced across Europe. Nevertheless, the European mussel production sector is experiencing a continuous decline, with a net decrease in the production …

The Role of Sirtuin Inhibitors on the Proteomic Responses of the Mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and Mytilus trossulus to Menadione Induced Oxidative Stress
… <em>Mytilus galloprovincialis</em>. These blue mussels occur throughout rocky intertidal zones where they are subjected to greatly varying environmental conditions known to induce oxidative stress. We hypothesize that while under acute stress, related <em>Mytilus</em> congeners undergo a …

Urban marine bivalve aquaculture: A pathway to enhancing global food security
… study also included the fortification of the mussels with exogenous vitamin A to support population vitamin A deficiency, fortification which remained stable in vivo following both freezing methodologies. This study therefore demonstrates the promise acoustic freezing car- ries as a …

The Genetic Impacts of Mytilus Galloprovincialis On M. Trossulus In Northern Japan
<p>The effects of invasive species on native communities are of major concern worldwide. These species can have grave ecological, economical, and genetic impacts on the communities in which they invade. Through hybridization, invasive species also threaten the genetic integrity of the native …

Environmental Change Impacts on Marine Calcifiers: Spatial and Temporal Biomineralisation Patterns in Mytilid Bivalves
… from 1904 to 2016 at a single location), in mussels of the genus Mytilus. The aim was to observe whether plasticity in calcareous shell morphology, production, and composition mediates spatial and temporal patterns of resistance to climate change in these critical foundation species. For the …
