Pseudodiarrhoea in zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha (Pallas) exposed to microcystins.
Microcystins are produced by bloom-forming cyanobacteria and pose significant health and ecological problems. In this study we show that zebra mussels respond differently to different strains of Microcystis aeruginosa, and that a highly toxic strain causes zebra mussels to produce large quantities of mucous pseudofaeces, 'pseudodiarrhoea', that are periodically expelled hydraulically through th...
متن کاملInduction of micronuclei in haemocytes and gill cells of zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, exposed to clastogens.
Zebra mussels, Dreissena polymorpha, were exposed to four directly acting reference clastogens (mitomycin C, bleomycin, dimethylarsinic acid and potassium chromate) under laboratory conditions. The aim was to examine the inducibility of micronuclei (MN) in haemocytes and gill cells. Positive responses were observed in both tissues for all four substances used under the given test conditions. Th...
متن کاملPotential for Predation by Fishes to Impact Zebra Mussels Dreissena polymorpha: Insight from Bioenergetics Models
Bioenergetic modeling provided insight into the potential for fishes to impact zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha populations by predation across river and lake systems in eastern North America (13° latitude × 12° longitude). Food consumption modeling suggested that fishes in southern latitudes consumed up to 100 percent more food than those in northern systems. Much variation in food consumptio...
متن کاملSecondary spread of zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha) in coupled lake-stream systems
We postulated that dispersal through streams is an important factor in the spread of nonindigenous aquatic species to uninvaded lakes. We tested this hypothesis with zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), whose planktonic larvae are particularly prone to transport through streams. To examine this potential mechanism of spread, we (1) assessed populations of zebra mussels in 2000 and 2003 in coup...
متن کاملGenotoxicity and activation of cellular defenses in transplanted zebra mussels Dreissena polymorpha along the Seine river.
The aim of the present study was to confirm the relevance of studying DNA adduct formation in a field study. In that context, freshwater mussels Dreissena polymorpha, collected in a reference station, were transplanted in different sites with a pollution gradient. After one and two months, mussels were collected and DNA adduct formation was analyzed using the (32)P post labelling technique on b...
