Previous measurements of filtration rates for subtidal P. canaliculus (Waite 1989;Marsden & Shumway 1992) were generally higher than those reported here for intertidal mussels. However, high filtration rates (8.85-13.2 litres h" 1 g" 1 ) have been reported for Perna perna from South Africa (Berry & Schleyer 1983;Bayne et al 1984) and P. viridis from Malaysia (Hawkins et al 1998).…”

Mussels (Perna canaliculus) (Gmelin, 1791) collected from mid and low tide rocky platforms along the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand differed in dry weight condition index between shore levels. Mussel condition was c. 15% lower at mid tide level than the low tide level and there was greater variation between shore level than between sites. Feeding experiments were conducted at 15°C with mussels collected from mid and low tide levels using Isochrysis galbana as the food. Clearance rate depended upon body size, shore level, and season. During summer clearance rates of mid and low tide mussels were similar. However in winter, increased filtration rates were recorded in mussels from the mid tide level compared with those from the low tide. In addition, for mussels from both shore levels, winter rates were higher than those recorded in the summer. Nitrogen excretion by mussels also showed seasonal and shore level differences. High values for ammonia excretion of mussels collected from the mid tide during winter suggests they utilise metabolic reserves to maintain their basal metabolism. Although our results suggest that increased filtration rates for mid tide mussels might compensate for reduced feeding time, in the winter, larger mussels from the mid tide level would Received 30 October 1998; accepted 29 April 1999 be unlikely to obtain sufficient energy for maintenance or growth. Large mussels were infrequent in the mid tide population, where the mean length was 62.5 mm compared with 75.1 mm from the low tide. It is concluded that nutrient limitation, as a result of reduced feeding time can act as a significant stress factor limiting the growth potential of mussels settled at the mid tide level. M98077

“…and PST can respond by a variety of mechanisms. Such mechanisms include increasing mucus and pseudofeces production, modifying valve activity and changing filtration rate, reducing feeding or burrowing behavior, altering the rate of byssus production, and changing cardiac activity or oxygen consumption (Table 9) Shumway et al, 1985Shumway and Cucci, 1987;Shumway, 1988a, 1988b;Shumway, 1990;Marsden and Shumway, 1992;Bricelj et al, 1996;Lassus et al, 1999).…”

“…The adult quahogs ingested and consumed weakly toxic strains of A. tamarense, whereas very little of the more toxic A. fundyense strain were ingested, and only in the presence of a nontoxic diatom supplement. Perna canaliculus exposed to toxic A. tamarense had no dramatic physiological effects after short-term feeding, and no mortality after prolonged (2 weeks) exposure (Marsden and Shumway, 1992). Li and Wang (2001) exposed P. viridis to toxic and nontoxic strains of A. tamarense.…”
