“…Inversely, high water temperature may have inhibited gametogenesis. This agrees with the thermal control of reproductive pattern in P. perna from Mexico (Vélez and Epifanio 1981) but contrasts with the spawning activity of closely-related P. viridis from the east coast of India, the breeding of which coincides with seasonally elevated temperatures up to 31.3…”

-Gametogenic cycle, gross biochemical composition, condition indices and soft tissue caloric value of the brown mussel Perna perna were investigated in the coastal waters of the Gulf of Aden over ten months, to delineate ecophysiological performance of the bivalve. The timing of reproductive activity and seasonal variations of physiological features appear to depend on interaction of environmental (exogenous) and internal (endogenous) factors. Two major spawning events occurred during seasonal monsoons i.e. in late summer (SW monsoon, August-September) and early spring (NW monsoon, February-March), although these differed considerably in relative intensity and the extent of the resulting changes in physiology and body weight. The summer breeding, which was correlated with low water temperature and abundant food, exerted little effect on biochemical constituents, indicating protracted and portioned spawning. Reserve stores (lipids, carbohydrates and proteins) accumulated gradually in the cooler inter-monsoon period of gametogenic quiescence, to provide energy for periods of natural nutritional stress when water temperature increased and primary production diminished. The second spawning in spring was accompanied by a substantial decrease in lipids, carbohydrates and condition indices of the mussels probably due to the release of nutrient-rich gametes in adaptive response to lower food availability in the environment. High reproductive effort presumably induced increased mortality of females, which were strongly outnumbered by males at a ratio of 1.8:1.0. Caloric value of this mussel falls within a range typical for mussel species in other subtropical areas, highlighting the importance of Perna perna as a local food resource and its potential suitability for aquaculture.Key words: Ecological physiology / Gametogenesis / Biochemical composition / Condition / Reproduction / Mollusca / Perna perna Résumé -Nous avons étudié le cycle gamétogénétique, la composition biochimique, les indices de condition et la valeur calorique des tissus mous de la moule, Perna perna (Mytilidae), de la zone côtière du golfe d'Aden et durant 10 mois, afin d'estimer le comportement écophysiologique de ce bivalve. La période d'activité reproductrice et les variations saisonnières des caractéristiques physiologiques semblent dépendre de l'intéraction des facteurs environnementaux (exogènes) et internes (endogènes). Deux périodes principales de ponte se déroulent durant les moussons saisonnières, en fin d'été (mousson de sud-ouest, en août-septembre) et au début du printemps (mousson de nord-ouest, en février-mars), bien que celles-ci soient très différentes en intensité relative et en conséquences sur les changements physiologiques et sur le poids des mollusques. La ponte estivale, qui est corrélée avec une faible température de l'eau et une nourriture abondante, exerce peu d'effet sur les constituants biochimiques, montrant une ponte prolongée et fractionnée. L'accumulation de réserves (lipides, glucides et protéines) est effectuée...

“…Spawning ceases below the lower spawning limit of 18°C (Shafee 1989), accounting for the winter cessation of spawning at FP and MP at water temperatures <18 to 20°C, as has also been reported for Moroccan (Shafee 1989) and Algerian (Abada-Boudjema & Dauvin 1995) P. perna populations. In contrast, tropical and subtropical P. perna populations inhabiting waters which do not fall below 18°C tend to spawn sporadically throughout the year (Vélez & Martinez 1967, Carvajal 1969, Lunetta 1969, Benítez & Okuda 1971, Vélez 1971, Acuña 1977, Berry 1978, Lasiak 1986, van Erkom Schurink & Griffiths 1991, with spawning suppressed during summer (Carvajal 1969, Lunetta 1969, Vélez 1971) when water temperatures exceed this species' 28°C upper limit for gametogensis (Vélez & Epifanio 1981). Water temperatures approaching 28°C may have been the basis for the mid-summer interruption of spawning at FP (Fig.…”

“…Biotic and abiotic factors other than temperature may initiate periodic spawning episodes in asynchronously spawning populations (Romero & Moreira 1980, Salomão et al 1980, Vélez & Epifanio 1981. Like Perna perna, other tropical and subtropical mytilids, including P. viridis (Walter 1982, Cheung 1993, P. canaliculus (Greenway 1975, Hickman & Illingworth 1980, Choromytilus meridionalis (Griffiths 1981), Aulacomya maorina (Kennedy 1977) and A. ater (Griffiths & King 1979a, van Erkom Schurink & Griffiths 1991, spawn sporadically during all but winter months, while those of temperate mytilids are generally restricted to 1-3 mo during spring and summer (for reviews see Seed 1976, Griffiths & Griffiths 1987, Dame 1996.…”

“…According to data from SUTTI (2014) Although not lethal, temperatures of 27°C and 30°C may have affected important physiological functions such as gametogenesis (VÉLEZ and EPIFANIO, 1981), and life cycle (BUCKLEY et al, 2001). RESGALLA JR. et al (2007), testing the metabolism of Perna perna at temperatures of 15°C, 20°C, 25°C, and 30°C concluded that increasing temperature leads to significant increase on oxygen consumption.…”

Mytella falcata and M. guyanensis are species of potential commercial value for aquaculture. The present study had the objective of estimating the mean tolerance (MT50) of both species of estuarine bivalves exposed to different water temperatures. Significant differences were observed through a variance analysis (p = 0.02) between cumulative mortality from both species. M. falcata was more resistant than M. guyanensis at a temperature of 33ºC, with a MT50 of, respectively, 87.42 and 53.36 hours of exposure. Although there was no mortality of the organisms exposed to the other temperatures, control (24°C), 27°C and 30°C, it was found that there is a decrease in the creation of byssus at temperatures of 30°C and 33°C, indicating a possible physiological stress.Key words: estuarine bivalves; aquaculture; mean tolerance; mortality curves. MORTALIDADE DE Mytella falcata E M. guyanensis SUBMETIDOS A DIFERENTES TEMPERATURAS RESUMOMytella falcata e M. guyanensis são espécies de potencial valor comercial para a aquicultura. O presente estudo teve como objetivo estimar a tolerância média (TM50) das duas espécies de bivalves estuarinos, expostas a diferentes temperaturas da água. Observaram-se diferenças significativas, através de análise de variância (p=0,02), entre a mortalidade acumulada de ambas as espécies, sendo M. falcata mais resistente que M. guyanensis, na temperatura de 33°C, com TM50, respectivamente, de 87,42 e 53,36 horas de exposição. Apesar de não ocorrer mortalidade dos organismos expostos às outras temperaturas, controle (24°C), 27°C e 30°C, constatouse a diminuição na formação de bisso nas temperaturas de 30°C e 33°C, indicando possível estresse fisiológico.Palavras-chave: bivalves estuarinos; aquicultura; tolerância média; curvas de mortalidade.
