Influence of temperature and food availability on the ecological energetics of the giant scallop Placopecten magellanicus. II. Reproductive output and total production

Abstract: Greater somatic and gonad production were generally observed in scallops Placopecten magellanicus (Gmelin) from shallow water than in those from deeper water, where temperature and food conditions were often less favourable Annual variation in total production was attributable to differences in reproductive output rather than somatic growth, since the latter changed little from year to year. Controlled growth with opportunistic reproduction may be an appropriate strategy in the variable and unpredictable envir… Show more

“…Our results indicate a significant seasonality of metabolic activity in A. opercularis, as previously observed for many boreal scallops (MacDonald and Thompson, 1985;Bricelj et al, 1987;Shumway et al, 1988). Such seasonal cycles in metabolism result from complex interactions of environmental and endogenous variables acting on the metabolism (for review, see Bayne and Newell, 1983).…”

“…5a), as previously observed for other scallop species, too, e.g. Mimachlamys varia (Shafee, 1982), Mizuhopecten yessoensis (Fuji and Hashizume, 1974) and Placopecten magellanicus (MacDonald and Thompson, 1985Thompson, , 1988Claereboudt and Himmelman, 1996). The general decrease of somatic growth with increasing age (Calow, 1977) is not necessarily caused only by a shift between P s and P g (Fig.…”

“…In the case of the variance observed in the soft tissue mass, the equation model showed that this variance was related positively to POM and inversely to temperature, confirming that food availability and temperature are the most influential factors in the good condition of bivalves (BAYNE;NEWELL, 1983;THOMPSON, 1985;MALACHOWSKI, 1988;JARAMILLO et al, 1993;HIMMELMAN, 2000;ARRIECHE et al, 2002). Regarding POM as a food source for mussels, this aspect can be attributed to that described by CRANFORD and GRAND (1990), that although the phytoplankton is an important source of food, organic seston is an alternative energy source for bivalves.…”
