Impact of ocean acidification on antimicrobial activity in gills of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis).
Here, we aimed to investigate potential effects of ocean acidification on antimicrobial peptide (AMP) activity in the gills of Mytilus edulis, as gills are directly facing seawater and the changing pH (predicted to be reduced from ∼8.1 to ∼7.7 by 2100). The AMP activity of gill and haemocyte extracts was compared at pH 6.0, 7.7 and 8.1, with a radial diffusion assay against Escherichia coli. Th...
متن کاملThe effect of high-pressure spraying for tunicate control on byssal thread characteristics in the cultured blue mussel (Mytilus edulis Linnaeus, 1758)
Mussel growers in Prince Edward Island (PEI), Canada, currently use high-pressure water spraying (~700 psi) to mortally injure or dislodge invasive tunicates from mussel product and gear. An added benefit of this process may be the stimulation of byssal thread production, leading to improved mussel attachment. This study measured byssal thread abundance and thickness in cultured blue mussel Myt...
متن کاملBroodstock conditioning and gonadal development of the smooth clam Callista chione (Linnaeus, 1758) (Mollusca: Bivalvia) on the Catalan coast (NE Spain)
The smooth clam Callista chione (Linnaeus, 1758), is distributed on sandy bottoms throughout the Mediterranean Sea and European Atlantic coasts over 0-180 m depth range (SALAS, 2011). This species is of great commercial interest in Spain, and is intensively exploited along the Catalan coast (DOGC, 2008). Catches have dramatically decreased over the recent years, threatening the biological and e...
متن کاملEffects of ocean acidification on the immune response of the blue mussel Mytilus edulis
The effects of medium term (32 d) hypercapnia on the immune response of Mytilus edulis were investigated in mussels exposed to acidified (using CO2) sea water (pH 7.7, 7.5 or 6.7; control: pH 7.8). Levels of phagocytosis increased significantly during the exposure period, suggesting an immune response induced by the experimental set-up. However, this induced stress response was suppressed when ...
متن کاملCharacterisation of the intracellular protozoan MPX in Scottish mussels, Mytilus edulis Linnaeus, 1758.
Ciliates have been reported as pathogens of many species of economically important bivalves. Mussel protozoan X (MPX), is an uncharacterised intracellular ciliate of mussels and has been widely reported in Mytilus spp. around the world. In order to characterise this ciliate, Mytilus edulis samples were collected from a site on the West coast of Scotland, and four different fixatives for histolo...
