Abstract The Asian clam ( Corbicula fluminea ) is one of the rapidly spreading, very successful aquatic invasive species, which has become established widely in many parts world. Its spread assumed to be by both passive and active dispersal. However, importance pedal movement dispersal hardly known. Since there was no direct evidence this phenomenon, field observations were combined with labora...

In the current research, edible meat of freshwater clam Corbicula fluminea was subjected to enzymatic peptide extraction using animal protease. The protein hydrolysate (CPH) contained 45.78% essential amino acids and 44.97% hydrophobic showed high alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) activation in vitro. Four fractions were divided from CPH by ultrafiltration further investigated for their hepatoprotect...

Asian clam (Corbicula fluminea) is among the most aggressive freshwater invaders worldwide causing major ecological and economic damage. However, the mechanisms leading to the water-borne dispersion of the species within aquatic ecosystems, particularly lakes, is an area where research is at a relatively early stage. A numerical model has been developed to analyze and describe the dispersion th...
