“…The animals were acclimatized in 5 L buckets containing sand (3 kg) and transferred to 40 L tanks with a temperature of 18°C, aeration and continuous flow of seawater with salinity of 35. The diet offered was a mix of microalgae composed of Chaetoceros mulleri , Isochrysis galbana and Rhodomonas salina (1:1:1) at the concentrations of 15–20 × 10 4 cells ml −1 , according to the methodology described by Santos, Bernardes, Ramírez, Ramos, et al (2020), for 2 weeks.…”

“…The species has been the subject of research for decades regarding its habitat (Coscarón, 1959), reproductive cycles in its natural environment (Herrmann et al, 2009), population dynamics (Bergonci & Thomé, 2008) and the reduction in natural stocks and outbreaks of mortalities that affect the species in areas of its distribution (Carvalho et al, 2013; Carvalho et al, 2013; Ortega et al, 2012; Santos et al, 2016). However, reproductive studies have only recently been carried out, reporting and describing processes that involve broodstock conditioning, spawning techniques and embryonic and complete larval development under different laboratory conditions (Santos, Bernardes, Ramírez, Ramos, et al, 2020; Santos, Bernardes, Ramírez, Gomes, et al, 2020), with the initial aim of contributing information for the cultivation of this species.…”

The species Amarilladesma mactroides (= Mesodesma mactroides) (Reeve, 1854) is a sand bivalve, popularly known as yellow clam, with socioeconomic importance in regions where it is endemic (Herrmann et al., 2011;Santos et al., 2016;McLachlan, 2018). The species has been the subject of research for decades regarding its habitat (Coscarón, 1959), reproductive cycles in its natural environment (Herrmann et al., 2009), population dynamics (Bergonci & Thomé, 2008) and the reduction in natural stocks and outbreaks of mortalities that affect the species in areas of its distribution (Carvalho et al.,

“…Among new potential species for mollusc culture, the clam Mesodesma mactroides (Reeve, 1854; syn. Amarilladesma mactroides ), commonly called the Yellow clam, has received recent attention (Proverbio, 2017; Santos et al, 2020; Santos, Bernardes, Ramirez, Ramos, et al, 2020). Mesodesma mactroides is important in Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina as a historical recreational fishery with associated socio‐economic value (Brazeiro & Defeo, 1999; Defeo et al, 1992; Herrmann et al, 2011; Ihering, 1897; Shoeman et al, 2013).…”

Replacement of living microalgae with a dried alfalfa chloroplast product in diets for the Brown mussel (Perna perna), Yellow clam (Mesodesma mactroides) and Manila clam (Venerupis philippinarum)

Owing to its high nutritional value and widespread availability, the legume alfalfa Medicago sativa (Linnaeus, 1753) is a possible feed for aquatic animals. In this study, a dried alfalfa chloroplast (DAC) product supplied by Virentia Inc., Quebec, Canada, was evaluated as a partial or total replacement for live microalgae (LM) in diets for juveniles of Perna perna and the Mesodesma mactroides—two species with high aquaculture potential in Brazil. In addition, trials were conducted with Venerupis philippinarum, a species commonly used in global aquaculture. Nine diets containing different ratios (based on dry weight) of live microalgae (Chaetoceros neogracile and/or Isochrysis galbana) and DAC were evaluated. With all three bivalve species, additions of DAC to partial microalgal rations increased final dry and organic weights, compared with those provided with partial algal rations alone. M. macrooides and P. perna appeared to utilize DAC to a greater extent than V. philippinarum as indicated by the higher final organic weights obtained by these two species when larger fractions of LM were substituted with DAC. Overall, the results of this study indicate that DAC supplements can be useful in supporting mussel and clam tissue growth when algal feeds are limited or unavailable.

“…Mesodesma mactroides) is a native surf clam from southernmost Brazil, Uruguay and Argentina. This species has recently been the subject of studies (Santos et al 2016;Carvalho et al 2016;Santos et al 2020a;Santos et al 2020b) and stands out for its historical value as a significant fishing resource on the mentioned countries (Coscarón 1959).…”

Las proteínas amiloides son grupos proteicos que comprenden una superfamilia de apolipoproteínas altamente conservadas en vertebrados, estando implicadas en la modulación de numerosas respuestas inmunes durante infecciones, lesiones o estrés. En este estudio, la almeja amarilla Amarilladesma mactroides se utilizó como modelo para invertebrados y demostrar depósitos de proteína amiloide en sus tejidos. Se recolectaron de la playa ejemplares adultos de este bivalvo y se transportaron al Laboratorio de Inmunología y Patología de Organismos Acuáticos (LIPOA) de la Universidad Federal de Rio Grande (FURG). Sus tejidos se procesaron para su estudio histológico y se tiñeron con hematoxilina y eosina, y Rojo Congo. Las secciones histológicas teñidas con hematoxilina y eosina se examinaron con microscopía óptica clásica. Además, las secciones fueron teñidas con Rojo Congo y se analizaron con microscopía de luz polarizada. La tinción con Rojo Congo reveló la presencia de proteínas amiloides en el pie muscular y en las glándulas digestivas de la almeja amarilla. Las técnicas utilizadas demostraron ser adecuadas para la determinación de proteína amiloide en esta especie y evidenciaron un papel complementario de las proteínas amiloides en la respuesta inmune, indicando que pueden servir como marcador del sistema inmunológico innato y la salud de los invertebrados. La capacidad de evaluar la condición inmunológica puede proporcionar información relacionada con el cultivo de especies emergentes para la acuicultura.
