First evidence of fiberglass ingestion by a marine invertebrate (Mytilus galloprovincialis L.) in a N.W. Mediterranean estuary

Alfacs Bay is a N.W. Mediterranean estuary important for mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) aquaculture. During studies at the site, fiberglass particles were detected. The presence of fiberglass occurred naturally in the water throughout the study period (November 2006 to July 2007). An investigation was undertaken into its role in the feeding behavior of the local mussels. Fiberglass was present in all types of mussel samples. Rejection, which we would have expected for the whole study period, was only evident during the second season studied. To our knowledge, this is the first report of the ingestion of fiberglass by a marine organism. Our novel finding indicates the need to investigate fiberglass ingestion by marine organisms at different levels of the food web and the possible implications for human health and the health of the organisms themselves. In addition, we propose the use of mussels as sentinel organisms to monitor fiberglass contamination in marine ecosystems.     

Birds, seals and the suspension culture of mussels in Bantry Bay, a non-seaduck area in Southwest Ireland

Concerns about the environmental impacts of mariculture have grown in recent years in response to the rapid expansion of the industry. The blue mussel (Mytilus edulis) is the main product of shellfish mariculture in the Northeast Atlantic and Baltic Sea, with approximately one third of the harvest cultured using suspended longlines within sheltered marine areas. The main aim of this study was to examine the interactions, and assess the impacts (if any) of mussel suspension culture on the seabird and seal community, employing a simultaneous study of culture and control sites. The study spanned a 20-month period (from November 2001 to August 2003) and encompassed six sites in Bantry Bay (Southwest Ireland).There was no significant difference in species richness between mussel and control sites. Similarly, species diversity did not significantly differ between the mussel and control sites although control sites were generally more diverse than mussel sites, the latter particularly dominated by large numbers of Laridae.Significantly higher numbers of Phalacrocoracidae, Laridae and Alcidae were recorded in mussel sites than in control sites. However, no significant difference was found between Gaviidae or common seal (Phoca vitulina) numbers in mussel and control sites. Seasonal patterns of abundance were similar in mussel and control sites, with peak numbers of most species groups occurring in spring.Mussel suspension culture does not appear to have an adverse effect on the abundance of seabirds or common seals in this area. The safe perching platforms provided by suspension culture floats, combined with a number of other factors, contribute to an increased abundance of a number of seabird species, particularly Laridae. The possible interactions between vertebrate predators and mussel suspension aquaculture are discussed and possible explanations for the increased seabird abundance observed in these areas are offered.     

辽宁沿岸海域重金属和石油污染的生物指示种初步研究

本文根据经济贝类污染物残留量调查结果，对辽宁沿岸海域贻贝、菲律宾蛤仔作为重金属、石油污染的生物指示种的可能性进行了初步研究和评价。应用ＰＯＬＹＤＩＶ统计技术对采自辽宁沿岸海域１４个站点样品中的重金属、石油含量进行了统计分析，结果表明辽宁沿岸海域各站点的贻贝、菲律宾蛤仔受Ｃｕ，Ｚｎ，Ｃｄ，Ｈｇ和石油污染与石油污染程度的分布和沿岸排放工业废水的分布及表层沉积物中的含量相一致。据此，贻贝和菲律宾蛤仔可作为监测Ｃｕ，ｍ，Ｃｄ，Ｈｇ和石油污染的生物指示种；可否作为Ｐｂ的生物指示种尚需进一步研究。     

Aspects of the usefulness of five marine pollution biomarkers, with emphasis on MN and lipid content

By using cellular biomarkers, such as the formation of the micronucleus, the morphometric alterations of lipids and the morphometric changes in the lysosomal system, we investigated effects of experimental exposure to phenanthrene, Cu, Cd, and Hg for 15 days in mussels. Concerning micronuclei, the evaluation of the total nuclear abnormalities, instead of the micronucleus only, as a biomarker of marine pollution, indicated more statistically significant differences between the control and the pollutant treated groups. Contrary to the existing knowledge showing that there is an increase in lipid content after pollutant exposure, our results showed that there was a decrease in the amount of lipid, as well as an increase in the number of neutral lipids. Furthermore, although prior studies found that fewer lysosomes formed after pollutant exposure, this was not confirmed by our work, as pollutant treated animals exhibited a decrease in the volume and an increase in the numerical density of lysosomes, compared to control groups.

采用16S rRNA基因测序技术,对我国东南沿海4个地理群体的厚壳贻贝遗传结构及遗传变异进行研究。通过对4个厚壳贻贝群体共83个个体的线粒体16S rRNA基因进行测序,获得1个长度为305bp的同源序列,共检测到150个多态位点,多态位点比例达49.18%。83个个体中共检测到28个单倍型,单倍型多样性指数(Hd)为0.810,核苷酸多样性指数(Pi)为0.09602,平均核苷酸差异数(K)达27.846。结果表明,我国东南沿海厚壳贻贝群体具有较高的遗传多样性水平。遗传结构检测结果表明,舟山群体、温州群体、宁德群体间的遗传距离小,遗传分化系数(Fst)为-0.0141—0.0059之间,群体内部无显著分化(P>0.05),而福州群体与其它群体间遗传距离较大,为0.215—0.217之间,遗传分化系数(Fst)也较大,为0.6217—0.6319之间,存在极显著的遗传分化(P<0.001)。     

Aggregational behavior of the blue mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus: a potential pre‐zygotic reproductive isolation mechanism

The blue mussels Mytilus edulis and Mytilus trossulus occur sympatrically and are able to hybridize in populations on the eastern coast of Newfoundland, Canada, presenting an opportunity to study their aggregational behavior. Aggregation behavior may therefore provide insight into post‐settlement interactions and pre‐zygotic reproductive isolation between the species. Three treatments were designed using M. edulis and M. trossulus to investigate their intraspecific and interspecific spatial distribution patterns. With Ripley’s K‐function and Monte Carlo simulation analysis, we found that in the single‐species treatment, M. edulis aggregated significantly but not M. trossulus. Based on results of two‐way ANOVAs, both the number of aggregations and the moving distance were significantly affected by the treatments (single‐species or mixed‐species treatment) and times (24, 48, 72 and 96 h). In further pairwise comparisons using Tukey’s test, M. edulis aggregated differently with or without M. trossulus occupying the same tank, suggesting that the aggregational behavior of M. edulis could be driven by species‐specific chemical cues. The result that M. edulis aggregates intraspecifically may increase the probability of intraspecific fertilization of the spawned gametes and thus function as a pre‐zygotic reproductive isolation mechanism maintaining the blue mussel hybrid zone.     

厚壳贻贝(Mytilus coruscus)4 个群体遗传多样性的 ISSR 分析

采用ISSR分子标记对中国沿海4个厚壳贻贝群体进行遗传多样性和遗传结构分析,筛选出13条引物对4个群体120个样品共扩增出192个清晰的扩增位点,其中多态位点188个,多态位点百分率为97.92%,在物种水平上遗传多样性较为丰富。群体遗传多样性结果表明,PPL在81.77%—89.58%之间,H在0.2950—0.2818之间,I在0.4213—0.4447之间,其中福州群体多样性指数最低,温州群体最高。4个群体间GST为0.1519,Nm值范围介于3.0576—5.9714之间,AMOVA分析显示遗传变异主要来自群体内个体间。群体间遗传距离和聚类分析显示,温州群体和宁德群体首先聚为一支,再与舟山群体聚类,最后与福州群体聚在一起。表明地理位置较远的群体,遗传距离也较大,地理距离和遗传距离一致。
