“…The bucket was filled with 10 L groundwater (dissolved oxygen 12.5 ± 2.1 mg/L, pH 7.98 ± 0.21, electric conductivity at 20 • C 1049 ± 55 mS/cm 2 ) at a mean temperature of 12.5 • C and with 30% of the water changed daily. Mussels were fed by adding 0.2 mL/L Shellfish Diet 1800 (Reed Mariculture, Campbell, CA, USA) to the incubation water once per week before the immunohistochemical experiments were conducted [23,24].…”

Mussels have been used as animal models for studying ecotoxicology, biomineralization, and bio-adhesion for many years. Despite a wealth of studies on their shell matrix and byssus proteins, few studies have focused on the extracellular matrix molecules in mussel soft tissues. Extracellular matrix molecules may play important roles in biomineralization, immune reaction, and tissue homeostasis. In the present study, extracellular matrix and mineralization-related molecules in zebra mussel soft tissue were immunolocalized using well-characterized monoclonal antibodies. Our results demonstrate specific immunolocalization for collagen IV, fibronectin, and keratan sulfate in hemocytes; collagen IV in peripheral nerves; and aggrecan, link protein, and collagen XVIII in foot tissue. Laminin, decorin, and osteonectin were also broadly immunolocalized in mussel soft tissues. The distributions of these extracellular matrix molecules in mussel tissues are in line with the cell-mediated shell mineralization hypothesis, providing evidence for the molecules involved in the peripheral nervous system and byssus formation, and explaining the conservation of extracellular matrix molecules during evolution. These results further contribute to establishing zebra mussels as an attractive animal model in biomedical research.

“…Freshwater mussels have a huge impact on the abiotic environment by physically altering the processes and structure of ecosystems (Bódis et al, 2014a,b;Sicuro, 2015) as well as affecting the nutrient dynamics through the excretion and biodeposition of faeces and pseudofaeces and the bioturbation of the bottom sediments (Schmidlin et al, 2012;Zieritz et al, 2012;Sousa et al, 2014). This can result in changes at numerous trophic levels (Pou-Rovira et al, 2009) and cause a serious threat to biodiversity (Kovarik, 2003;Karatayev et al, 2007;Simberloff et al, 2013) including the globally threatened native Unionids due to degradation of their habitat (Vaughn and Hakenkamp, 2001;Lopes-Lima et al, 2014).…”

-The increasingly frequent appearance of invasive species of mussels is a common phenomenon nowadays. Their rapid expansion is a significant component of the global changes that pose a great ecological impact and a serious threat to the diversity of native fauna. This study documents new localities of occurrence of Sinanodonta woodiana in Poland. We also attempted to determine its density, biomass, morphometric features and age structure. We found that its presence is clearly related to temperature and that the current range of its occurrence in Poland mostly overlaps with the areas with the highest average annual temperatures. The study showed significant differences in mean density between the fishponds: on particular sites the density amounted to 9 individuals/m 2 and their biomass exceeded 3000 g/m 2 . ANOVA revealed significant differences in the mean dimensions of the shells between the three fishponds related to their height and width. Seven-year-old individuals were the most numerous while one-, two-, five-and six-yearold specimens were the most numerous in pond 2. In our opinion, S. woodiana has created a permanent population that is probably able to breed. This is confirmed by the appearance of one-year-old individuals as well as the other younger age classes.Keywords: invasive species / S. woodiana / new records / mussel Résumé -L'expansion de la moule invasive Sinanodonta woodiana (Lea, 1834) en Polognenouvelles localisations et structure de population. L'apparition de plus en plus fréquente d'espèces envahissantes de moules est un phénomène fréquent. Leur rapide expansion est une composante importante des changements globaux qui causent un fort impact écologique et une grave menace pour la diversité de la faune indigène. Cette étude documente de nouvelles localités d'implantation de Sinanodonta woodiana en Pologne. Nous avons également tenté de déterminer la densité, la biomasse, les caractéristiques morphométriques et la structure d'âge. Nous avons constaté que sa présence est clairement liée à la température et que la gamme actuelle de sa localisation en Pologne recouvre principalement les zones où les températures annuelles moyennes sont les plus élevées. L'étude a montré des différences significatives de la densité moyenne entre les étangs : sur des sites particuliers, la densité est élevée à 9 individus/m 2 et la biomasse a dépassé 3000 g/m 2 . L'ANOVA a révélé des différences significatives dans les dimensions moyennes de hauteur et largeur des coquilles entre trois étangs. Des individus de sept ans étaient les plus nombreux en 1 alors que les spécimens de un, deux, cinq et six ans étaient les plus nombreux dans l'étang 2. À notre avis, S. woodiana a créé une population permanente qui est probablement en mesure de se reproduire. Ceci est confirmé par l'apparition d'individus âgés d'un an ainsi que la présence d'autres classes d'âge jeunes.

“…Apart from their role in the ecosystem, people across the globe exploit several species of freshwater molluscs as food, medicine, ornament, and in the craft industry (Wood & Wells 1995;Sonowal & Kardong 2020). Freshwater molluscs are also used as bio-monitoring agents in the aquatic ecosystem and in integrated fish farming (Sicuro 2015). Most of the information on the status and distribution of Indo-tropical freshwater molluscs is based on the studies in the eastern Himalaya (Budha et al 2010); the Western Ghats (Aravind et al 2011), and the Indo-Burma region (Köhler et al 2012) especially in the Mekong River basin covering the nations comprising Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand, Burma, and China.…”

Diversity of freshwater molluscs from the upper Brahmaputra Basin, Assam, India

2021

A field survey was conducted for three consecutive years, 2015–17 to assess the diversity of freshwater molluscs (Gastropoda and Bivalvia) of the upper Brahmaputra Basin in Assam, India. Altogether, 18 gastropods and 27 bivalve species representing nine families were recorded from 17 sampling stations comprising small to large tributaries and wetlands in the flood-plains covering a total geographical area of approximately 3,500km2. A large fraction (15.55%) of the collected mollusc species are new records from the upper Brahmaputra Basin of Assam. Rarity in the occurrence of freshwater mollusc was confirmed with singleton and doubleton species accounting for 6.66% and unique species accounting for 35.55% of the total species recorded. It was observed that most of the mollusc species of the upper Brahmaputra Basin are either in the ‘Least Concern’ or ‘Data Deficient’ category of the IUCN Red List; except for Lymnaea ovalior (Annandale & Prashad, 1921) and Sphaerium austeni Prashad, 1921 assessed as ‘Vulnerable’ and ‘Near Threatened’, respectively. A significant trend in the diversity in terms of species richness and composition was observed across the sampling stations of the northern basin and southern basin of the river Brahmaputra.
