Argopecten Irradians*
MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES I Vol. 74: 47-59, 1991 Published July 18 Mar. Ecol. Prog. Ser. The eelgrass canopy: an above-bottom refuge from benthic predators for juvenile bay scallops Argopecten irradians* David G.Pohle, V. Monica Bricelj8*,Zaul Garcia-Esquivel Marine Sciences Research Center, State University of New York, Stony Brook, New York 11794-5000, USA ABSTRACT: Juvenile bay scallops Argopecten irradians commonly attach to shoots of eelgrass Zostera marina using byssal threads. Although this behavior has long been recognized, its adaptive value is poorly understood. This study examined (1) the size-specif~cnature of scallop attachment on eelgrass, and (2) the possible role of vertical attachment in providing refuge from benthic predators. Laboratory experiments using artificial eelgrass showed strong, inverse relationships between scallop size (over the range 6 to 20 mm) and several measures of attachment performance (percent attachment, rate of attachment, and height-above-bottom attained). Field experiments in which 10 to 15 mm scallops were tethered to natural eelgrass in Lake Montauk, Long Island, New York (USA), demonstrated a dramatic, highly significant enhancement of scallop survival at greater heights of attachment. Scallops tethered at 20 to 35 cm above bottom experienced > 59 O/O survival over 4 d, compared to < l1 O/O sunrival near the sediment surface. A similar pattern was observed in laboratory tethering experiments using trans- planted natural eelgrass and 3 crab predators common in mid-Atlantic embayments: Carcinus maenas, Libinia dubia, and Dyspanopeus sayi. The refuge value of vertical attachment was found, however, to be less with D. sayi than with the other predators tested, since individuals of ths species climbed eelgrass to feed on scallops in the upper canopy. -

Vol. 23: 265–274, 2015 AQUATIC BIOLOGY Published online April 1 doi: 10.3354/ab00626 Aquat Biol OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS Reproduction reduces HSP70 expression capacity in Argopecten purpuratus scallops subject to hypoxia and heat stress Katherina Brokordt*, Hernán Pérez, Catalina Herrera, Alvaro Gallardo Centro de Estudios Avanzados en Zonas Áridas (CEAZA), Universidad Católica del Norte, Larrondo 1281, Coquimbo, Chile ABSTRACT: In scallops, gonad production is highly demanding energetically, and reproduction usually occurs during spring−summer, a period of strong environmental changes. The synthesis of heat-shock proteins (HSPs) is a major mechanism of stress tolerance in animals, including scal- lops, and HSP expression contributes considerably to cellular energy demand. Therefore, repro- ductive investment may limit the availability of energy (in terms of ATP) for the expression of HSP in organisms exposed to environmental stress. We evaluated the stress response capacity of adult Argopecten purpuratus scallops to high temperature and hypoxia. Stress response capacity was assessed through gene expression (for temperature stress) and protein induction of 70 kD HSP at 3 reproductive stages: immature, mature and spawned. We also evaluated the effect of reproduc- tive status on the cellular ATP provisioning capacity through citrate synthase activity. Immature scallops exposed to thermal stress showed 1.3- and 1.5-fold increases in hsp70 mRNA and HSP70 protein levels, respectively, and those exposed to hypoxia doubled their level of HSP70 compared to non-stressed immature scallops. However, following gonad maturation and spawning, hsp70 mRNA increased by only 0.49- and 0.65-fold, respectively, after thermal stress and HSP70 protein levels of scallops exposed to thermal and hypoxia stressors did not differ from those of non- stressed animals. -

Physiological Effects and Biotransformation of Paralytic
PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS AND BIOTRANSFORMATION OF PARALYTIC SHELLFISH TOXINS IN NEW ZEALAND MARINE BIVALVES ______________________________________________________________ A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Environmental Sciences in the University of Canterbury by Andrea M. Contreras 2010 Abstract Although there are no authenticated records of human illness due to PSP in New Zealand, nationwide phytoplankton and shellfish toxicity monitoring programmes have revealed that the incidence of PSP contamination and the occurrence of the toxic Alexandrium species are more common than previously realised (Mackenzie et al., 2004). A full understanding of the mechanism of uptake, accumulation and toxin dynamics of bivalves feeding on toxic algae is fundamental for improving future regulations in the shellfish toxicity monitoring program across the country. This thesis examines the effects of toxic dinoflagellates and PSP toxins on the physiology and behaviour of bivalve molluscs. This focus arose because these aspects have not been widely studied before in New Zealand. The basic hypothesis tested was that bivalve molluscs differ in their ability to metabolise PSP toxins produced by Alexandrium tamarense and are able to transform toxins and may have special mechanisms to avoid toxin uptake. To test this hypothesis, different physiological/behavioural experiments and quantification of PSP toxins in bivalves tissues were carried out on mussels ( Perna canaliculus ), clams ( Paphies donacina and Dosinia anus ), scallops ( Pecten novaezelandiae ) and oysters ( Ostrea chilensis ) from the South Island of New Zealand. Measurements of clearance rate were used to test the sensitivity of the bivalves to PSP toxins. Other studies that involved intoxication and detoxification periods were carried out on three species of bivalves ( P. -
Os Nomes Galegos Dos Moluscos
A Chave Os nomes galegos dos moluscos 2017 Citación recomendada / Recommended citation: A Chave (2017): Nomes galegos dos moluscos recomendados pola Chave. http://www.achave.gal/wp-content/uploads/achave_osnomesgalegosdos_moluscos.pdf 1 Notas introdutorias O que contén este documento Neste documento fornécense denominacións para as especies de moluscos galegos (e) ou europeos, e tamén para algunhas das especies exóticas máis coñecidas (xeralmente no ámbito divulgativo, por causa do seu interese científico ou económico, ou por seren moi comúns noutras áreas xeográficas). En total, achéganse nomes galegos para 534 especies de moluscos. A estrutura En primeiro lugar preséntase unha clasificación taxonómica que considera as clases, ordes, superfamilias e familias de moluscos. Aquí apúntase, de maneira xeral, os nomes dos moluscos que hai en cada familia. A seguir vén o corpo do documento, onde se indica, especie por especie, alén do nome científico, os nomes galegos e ingleses de cada molusco (nalgún caso, tamén, o nome xenérico para un grupo deles). Ao final inclúese unha listaxe de referencias bibliográficas que foron utilizadas para a elaboración do presente documento. Nalgunhas desas referencias recolléronse ou propuxéronse nomes galegos para os moluscos, quer xenéricos quer específicos. Outras referencias achegan nomes para os moluscos noutras linguas, que tamén foron tidos en conta. Alén diso, inclúense algunhas fontes básicas a respecto da metodoloxía e dos criterios terminolóxicos empregados. 2 Tratamento terminolóxico De modo moi resumido, traballouse nas seguintes liñas e cos seguintes criterios: En primeiro lugar, aprofundouse no acervo lingüístico galego. A respecto dos nomes dos moluscos, a lingua galega é riquísima e dispomos dunha chea de nomes, tanto específicos (que designan un único animal) como xenéricos (que designan varios animais parecidos). -
