“…Earlier research has shown a linear relationship between temperature and oxygen consumption rate in H. kamtschatkana (Paul and Paul, 1998) and most published data on starvation in snails show a decrease in metabolic rates as starvation progresses (Von Brand et al, 1948;Gatty and Wilson, 1986;Carefoot, 1987). This is consistent with the trajectories that we observe along the PC1 axis, which potentially becomes an indicator of overall metabolic ''fitness.''…”

Withering syndrome in California red abalone (Haliotis rufescens) is caused by the Rickettsiales-like prokaryote (WS-RLP) Candidatus Xenohaliotis californiensis. WS-RLP infection is not sufficient to cause withering syndrome, and for reasons not yet well understood additional stressors such as elevated water temperature appear to influence disease development. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) based metabolomics, we have investigated the influence of food availability, temperature, and bacterial infection, both individually and in combination, on the metabolic status of the red abalone. Food limitation caused dramatic reductions in all observed classes of foot muscle metabolites, while at the same time metabolite levels within the digestive gland were preserved or increased. We also found that food limitation in combination with elevated temperature led to greater metabolic perturbations in both tissue types than those observed under food limitation alone. WS-RLP infection and food-limitation resulted in many of the same metabolic changes within the tissues studied, although the effects of infection were less severe. We observed increased levels of homarine in the digestive gland of both food-limited and WS-RLP-infected animals, yet only observed increased homarine levels in the foot muscle of infected abalone. These results further support the recently established glucose-to-homarine ratio in foot muscle as a potential marker for differentiating WS-RLP-infected animals from those of both healthy and food limited abalone. Furthermore, we found that the NMR metabolic data correlates well with histological measurements supporting the use of the metabolomics approach for characterizing both normal and pathological events in marine species, particularly during periods of environmentally relevant stress.

“…This also allows them to survive prolonged food deprivation, irrespective of aerial exposure. Starving planorbids Biomphalaria glabrata and Helisoma duryi survived 128 days in air (McMahon, 1983after von Brand et al, 1957 and ca 50 days in water (von Brand et al, 1948), respectively. Thus, in our study, the snails were unlikely to die because of starvation during the duration of the experiments.…”

Effect of substratum drying on the survival and migrations of a freshwater pulmonate snail Planorbarius corneus (Linnaeus, 1758)

Pulmonate snails inhabiting the near-shore zone of water bodies experience air exposure during water level fluctuations and some of them are known to survive long time in temporary basins. In laboratory, we investigated survival and behavioural defences (horizontal migrations and burrowing in substratum) of adult pulmonate snails Planorbarius corneus during substratum (sand and organic-rich) drying. We examined horizontal migrations at shorter and longer distances (24 and 48 cm), during gradual (8 days) or sudden water level drop rates. P. corneus was remarkably resistant to substratum drying, surviving 50 days on sand and more than 53 days on organic-rich bottom. The snails followed the retreating water level and grouped in the submerged parts of experimental tanks. This response was reduced on organic-rich bottom at a longer distance and with water level decreasing suddenly. Moreover, snails exposed to drying buried shallowly in both bottom types. Thus, P. corneus exhibited variable and efficient strategies enabling its survival during water level fluctuations, including active migrations following the retreating water level and burying in sediments.
