“…However, R. venosa is considered as an important commercial gastropod species in China ( Liu et al 2003 ), and, as a result of intensive research, the industrial aquaculture of R. venosa remains efficient. In recent years, research has been conducted on its reproductive biology ( Harding et al 2007b ; Yang et al 2007 ), invasion biology ( Leppäkoski et al 2013 ; Harding et al 2008 ; Lanfranconi et al 2009 ), and population genetics ( Xue et al 2014 ; Sun et al 2014 ). However, information related to genomic and transcriptome resources, and the mechanism of development of R. venosa , are currently unavailable.…”

During the life cycle of shellfish, larval development, especially metamorphosis, has a vital influence on the dynamics, distribution, and recruitment of natural populations, as well as seed breeding. Rapana venosa, a carnivorous gastropod, is an important commercial shellfish in China, and is an ecological invader in the United States, Argentina, and France. However, information about the mechanism of its early development is still limited, because research in this area has long suffered from a lack of genomic resources. In this study, 15 digital gene expression (DGE) libraries from five developmental stages of R. venosa were constructed and sequenced on the IIIumina Hi-Sequation 2500 platform. Bioinformaticsanalysis identified numerous differentially and specifically expressed genes, which revealed that genes associated with growth, nervous system, digestive system, immune system, and apoptosis participate in important developmental processes. The functional analysis of differentially expressed genes was further implemented by gene ontology, and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes enrichment. DGE profiling provided a general picture of the transcriptomic activities during the early development of R. venosa, which may provide interesting hints for further study. Our data represent the first comparative transcriptomic information available for the early development of R. venosa, which is a prerequisite for a better understanding of the physiological traits controlling development.

“…Зависимость от загрязненности среды, физиологического состояния и устойчивости моллюсков к различным неблагоприятным условиям была показана многими авторами [13,14,18,24,36,44,49]. Оптимальная температура для роста и развития исследуемых моллюсков находится в пределах от 15 до 20 °С [19,37,38], а при температуре воды выше 20 °С происходит значительное подавление их физиологической активности, выражающееся, в частности, в угнетении процесса фильтрации [25,33].…”

ул. дворянская, 2, 65082, Одесса, Украина сРАВНИтеЛЬНЫЙ АНАЛИЗ АДАПтИВНОГО ПОтеНЦИАЛА ОсОБеЙ РАПАНЫ (RAPANA VENOSA VALENCIENNES, 1846) И мИДИИ (MYTILUS GALLOPROVINCIALIS LAMARK, 1819) ИЗ ОДНОГО БИОтОПА Определяли устойчивость к условиям безводной среды особей R. venosa и M. galloprovincialis по продолжительности их жизни. При одинаковых значениях минимального (двое суток) и максимального (семь суток) времени жизни в экстремальных условиях эксперимента особи исследуемых видов различались темпами гибели. Установлена связь устойчивости моллюсков к экстремальным условиям среды с их размерно-массовыми показателями. У рапаны максимальная адаптивная способность к заданным экстремальным условиям проявлялась на уровне мелкоразмерных и более молодых особей, у мидии более устойчивыми были крупноразмерные особи.

“…The veined rapa whelk Rapana venosa is a large invasive predatory marine gastropod first discovered in the Chesapeake Bay, USA during 1998 (Harding & Mann, 1999; Mann & Harding, 2000). Rapa whelks are long-lived and highly fecund with annual estimates of embryo production of at least one million offspring per female per year (Harding et al , 2008). Native Chinese populations of R. venosa display imposex but are not sterilized (Shi et al , 2005).…”

“…Native Chinese populations of R. venosa display imposex but are not sterilized (Shi et al , 2005). Imposex has also been described in wild adult (>70 mm shell length, SL: maximum dimension from the tip of the spire to the bottom of the siphonal canal) rapa whelks collected throughout the known range of the established Chesapeake Bay breeding population (Mann et al , 2006; Harding et al , 2013; Supplementary Material 1), but does not appear to compromise reproduction or viability of veliger offspring at hatch (Harding et al , 2008, 2013). Imposex incidence in wild adult Chesapeake rapa whelks declined from 1998–2009 commensurate with declines in ambient water TBT concentrations (Harding et al , 2013).…”

Cultured whelks of known age and life history present the opportunity to evaluate imposex development in a controlled setting.…”

The imposition of male sexual characteristics onto the female (imposex) is present in wild populations of the non-native veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) in Chesapeake Bay, USA but does not appear to compromise reproductive function. Cultured whelks were used to test two hypotheses: (1) Observed imposex metrics will be similar to tributyltin (TBT) water concentrations at each of three sites; (2) Male and imposex/female whelks from the same site will have similar TBT body burdens. Cultured 2-year-old whelks were transplanted to three field sites in the York River, USA at the onset of their second reproductive season. Transplant site mean TBT water concentrations ranged from 1.4 ± 0.77 to 64.2 ± 57.8 ng l−1. Imposex incidence was 100% after 28 weeks with an observed M:F:IF ratio of 81:0:92 across all sites. Imposex stages (median vas deferens scale index = 4) and reproductive output were similar across sites. The imposex severity (IS = penis length/shell length) increased with increasing TBT concentrations. The relative penis length (RPLI) and relative penis size (RPSI) indices were positively related to site-specific TBT levels. Male whelks accumulated significantly higher TBT concentrations than female whelks at the site with the highest TBT concentration. Mean TBT concentrations in whelk egg capsules were significantly higher than concentrations in male or female whelk tissue. Egg capsule deposition provides a depuration mechanism for female whelks to reduce body burden of lipophilic TBT. Sex, season and reproductive status should be considered when using gastropod bioaccumulation to monitor TBT effects.
