“…Na América do Sul, uma espécie que tem causado bastante repercussão é Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857), "mexilhão dourado", que foi introduzida neste continente através da água de lastro de navios provenientes do sudeste da Ásia (China e Coreia) e registrado pela primeira vez em 1991 no Rio da Prata, próximo a Buenos Aires (PASTORINO et al, 1993). Após esta introdução acidental, L. fortunei tem se espalhado pela bacia do Rio da Prata, apresentando registros nas bacias de seus principais rios (Paraná, Paraguai, Uruguai e Tietê) (DARRIGRAN et al, 2012;ULIANO-SILVA et al, 2013). Os registros em águas do Pantanal mostram que a espécie está se aproximando da bacia Amazônica, ameaçando desta forma a maior biodiversidade do mundo (ULIANO-SILVA et al, 2013).…”

RESUMO:Espécies não nativas causam danos imprevisíveis sobre os ecossistemas e são consideradas pela IUCN como a segunda maior causa mundial de perda de biodiversidade. Os ecossistemas aquáticos são particularmente vulneráveis a esse impacto e muitas pesquisas mostram que essas espécies não nativas podem alterar a composição das comunidades nativas. A proposta deste estudo é apresentar as principais causas de introduções de espécies em ecossistemas aquáticos e possíveis medidas de prevenção e controle de espécies invasoras. Em ambientes aquáticos destacam-se como causas de introduções: destruição de barreiras geográficas como construções de reservatórios e canais de transposição de rios; criação e melhoria dos estoques naturais, devido à falta de planejamento na construção e manutenção dos locais de criação; aquariofilia e ornamentação de paisagens. Além disso, o turismo através da pesca esportiva, o controle biológico na tentativa de exterminar outra espécie já introduzida, a fauna associada a qual é transportada junto com a água, substratos ou hospedeiros e água de lastro principalmente proveniente de navios mercantis, também contribuem para as introduções de espécies. Medidas de controle de espécies não nativas são escassas e a identificação de vetores, monitoramento, políticas públicas e estudos são algumas estratégias que podem ajudar a diminuir os impactos ambientais causados por espécies não nativas em ecossistemas aquáticos. A divulgação e orientação sobre os impactos ambientais causados por espécies não nativas direcionadas para a população leiga e científica faz-se necessário, sendo a Internet uma ferramenta imprescindível e prioritária no combate a espécies não nativas.

“…After the pioneering work of B. Morton in Hong Kong (Morton 1973(Morton , 1975(Morton , 1977(Morton , 1982Morton et al 1976), most subsequent information on L. fortunei has originated from South America (Argentina, Brazil, including several review books: Penchaszadeh 2005; Damborenea 2006, 2009;Mansur et al 2012b) and Japan. In this context, investigations oriented at evaluating invasion risk and pathways, as well as possibilities of secondary spread (e.g., Darrigran and Pereyra 2011;Belz et al 2012;Campos et al 2012;Darrigran et al 2012;Sylvester et al 2013) are of particular significance. As noted by Hicks (2004), work on predicting future invasions is strongly lagging behind when compared to efforts dedicated to assessing impact of invasions that have already occurred.…”

“…In South America, physiographic, hydrosedimentological, and chemical conditions of the large floodplain rivers and associated water bodies of the Río de la Plata watershed are particularly favorable for the spread of L. fortunei (Darrigran et al 2012). "Jump dispersal," which combines upstream "jumps" of adults byssally attached to ship hulls followed by downstream passive drift of planktonic larvae (Ma-cIsaac et al 2001), has likely been instrumental in the swift dispersal of L. fortunei throughout this watershed (Boltovskoy et al 2006).…”

On the basis of the fouling caused by the golden mussel, Limnoperna fortunei, in industrial facilities and power plants (human environment), and its impacts on the ecosystem (natural environment), several strategies and measures for the mitigation of problems and prevention of further spread are discussed. At the local level, monitoring and early detection of the golden mussel can be accomplished through different methods, including those aimed at juveniles and adults, and also those aimed at their planktonic larvae. Priorities for designing bioinvasion management strategies should focus on generation of scientific knowledge, management, and actions at the sociopolitical level. Mitigation measures are closely related to the invasion phase, whereby the cost increases and the probability of eradication decreases over time.

“…This species has successfully increased its geographic distribution in South America, chiefly through its physiological plasticity, rapid growth and sexual maturation and its ability to colonize several natural and artificial substrates Boltovskoy et al, 2015;Nakano et al, 2015;Barbosa et al, 2016;Cordeiro et al, 2016). Considering these factors, several studies investigated the roles of abiotic factors (e.g., calcium, temperature and salinity) on the establishment, abundance and risk of further spread of the golden mussel to several areas Damborenea, 2005, 2011;Oliveira et al, 2010Oliveira et al, , 2011Darrigran et al, 2012).…”

Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker 1857) is a freshwater mussel with physiological tolerance to different environmental conditions, which may explain its success as an invasive species. The role of abiotic factors in its establishment, abundance and projections of risk of further spread into several areas has been studied. These mussels may respond to multiple environmental stressors, such as temperature, through physiological mechanisms, behavioral responses, mortality or some combination of these. The aim of this study was to investigate the behavioral responses (valve closing), glycogen concentrations and mortality of L. fortunei under four different temperatures (5°C, 10°C, 20°C and 30° C) during a chronic test (30 days). Two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare glycogen concentrations across days of the experiment and at the different temperatures. Differences in valve-closing behavior and mortality among temperatures were tested using repeated-measures ANOVA. We observed that most of the mussels maintained at 5°C closed their valves (74.7 ± 15.3%), indicating that they remain inactive at low temperatures. The glycogen levels significantly differed among the temperatures tested. These differences occurred mainly due to the high glycogen values observed in mussels exposed to 10°C. Stability in glycogen concentrations was observed within each particular temperature. The cumulative mortality was higher at extreme temperatures (5°C and 30°C). The ideal temperature for laboratory maintenance and tests is approximately 20°C.Our data also show that L. fortunei can survive and maintain their energy reserves (glycogen) for several days at 5°C, an important feature related to its invasion success.
