The effect of seasonal temperature variation on behaviour and metabolism in the freshwater mussel (Unio tumidus).
Temperature plays a critical role in determining the biology of ectotherms. Many animals have evolved mechanisms that allow them to compensate biological rates, i.e. adjust biological rates to overcome thermodynamic effects. For low energy-organisms, such as bivalves, the costs of thermal compensation may be greater than the benefits, and thus prohibitive. To examine this, two experiments were ...
متن کاملBiological activity of pentachlorophenol on the digestive gland cells of the freshwater mussel Unio tumidus.
Many chlorinated phenols and their derivatives are used extensively as insecticides, fungicides and herbicides by industrial and agricultural users throughout the world. Among these substances, pentachlorophenol (PCP) is a broad-spectrum biocide, which is still used as a wood preservative. In this paper, the digestive gland cells were used to assess the effect of PCP in the range of concentrati...
متن کاملIdentification, sequencing and expression of selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase transcript in the freshwater bivalve Unio tumidus exposed to Aroclor 1254.
Glutathione peroxidases (GPx) and glutathione S-transferases (GST) are essential enzymes of the cellular defense system. The aim of this work was the identification of GPx transcript in a freshwater bivalve, Unio tumidus, and the effects of Aroclor 1254 on GPx and pi-class GST (pi-GST) expression pattern. The GPx full-length coding sequence was obtained by reverse transcription PCR using degene...
متن کاملA floating cage system for rearing freshwater mussels Anodonta anatina and Unio mancus in Piedmont region (NW Italy)
This research represents the first attempt in Italy to develop a cage system for adult freshwater mussel stocking, for extensive farming, that was realized from 2003 to 2005 in NW Italy. Two autochthonous species of Italian freshwater mussel were used: Anodonta anatina and Unio mancus. 5133 mussels were collected and successively stocked in floating cages in 5 different sites in a lake. This st...
