Some Biological Properties of Date Mussels, Lithophaga Lithophaga L., 1758 (mytilidae) in the Gulf of Antalya
This research has been carried out to investigating of some biological aspects of date mussels, Lithophaga lithophaga distributing in Gulf of Antalya, in February 2015 – January 2016. The samples were used to determine length and live weight frequency distributions (nonlinear regression using the allometric function), size (length, breadth, thickness) – size relationship (linear regression). Th...
متن کاملDensities of the endolithic bivalve Lithophaga lessepsiana (Vaillant, 1865) in Pocillopora damicornis, Solitary Islands Marine Park, northern NSW, Australia
The Solitary Islands Marine Park is positioned in a transition zone between tropical and temperate regions and consequently supports a range of taxa with different biogeographic affinities. Driven by variable influence of the East Australian Current, there is increasing representation of tropical taxa along a cross-shelf gradient (inshore to offshore). Patterns in the population of the endolith...
متن کاملIntegrating Morphology, Breeding Ground and Mitochondrial COI Gene Analysis for Species Identification of Bellamya lithophaga (Gastropoda: Viviparidae) in China
BACKGROUND Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a zoonotic public health concern that causes human severe eosinophilic meningitis in Southeast Asia and China. As a medically important intermediate host of A. cantonensis, Bellamya lithophaga (Gastropoda: Viviparidae) is often confused with other morphologically similar sibling species of genus Bellamya, such as B. aeruginosa and B. purificata in the p...
متن کاملPlasticity of fertilization rates under varying temperature in the broadcast spawning mussel, Mytilus galloprovincialis
Oceans are a huge sink for the increased heat associated with anthropogenic climate change, and it is vital to understand the heat tolerance of marine organisms at all life stages to accurately predict species' responses. In broadcast spawning marine invertebrates, reproduction is a vulnerable process in which sperm and eggs are released directly into the open water. Gametes are then exposed to...
متن کاملInternal bioerosion by macroborers in Pocillopora spp. in the tropical eastern Pacific
Bioerosion of branched corals was assessed in a fringing reef (Playa Blanca) and a patch reef (Gorgonilla) of Gorgona Island in the tropical eastern Pacific. Cylinder-shaped experimental units (EUs), made from branches of Pocillopora spp., were set 50 cm above the sea bottom for 6, 12 and 18 mo in Playa Blanca (4 zones: Back Reef, Reef-Flat Crest, Reef Front and Reef Slope) and the Gorgonilla p...
