Survival and attachment of biofouling freshwater mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) to environmental conditions: potential implications in its invasion, infection and biofouling control

Effectiveness and Mechanisms of Recoverable Magnetic Nanoparticles on Mitigating Golden Mussel Biofouling

“…Thus, effective antifouling strategies are crucial to solve such a serious ecological problem. Scientists and managers have developed and employed physical, chemical, and biological strategies to control fouling mussels in aquatic ecosystems. − Among available strategies, chemical killing was considered to be a more effective antifouling method against various mussel species. However, the mussels exposed to high concentrations of some chemicals usually close their valves to avoid direct contact with toxic reagents, while most of the killed mussels still adhere to substrate surfaces using their byssus, a specific adhesive structure that is not sensitive to traditional chemical reagents, finally reducing the efficiency of this method. , Moreover, the residues of chemical reagents often cause secondary pollution to the treated water, limiting the wide applications of these reagents in some specific industries such as drinking water systems .…”

Golden mussel (Limnoperna fortunei) survival during winter at the northern invasion front implies a potential high‐latitude distribution

“…Thus, winter survival of golden mussels that we observed appears to be biologically based rather than an artefact stemming from protection of human activities. We expected that mortality of golden mussel would be mainly associated with low water temperature because they have very wide tolerance to other environmental factors (Boltovskoy, 2015; Liu et al., 2020). Even if we could not fully rule out contributions of other factors to mortality, it suggests even stronger cold tolerance of the species (i.e.…”

“…Given that golden mussels seemingly prefer relatively deep water, likely due to their negative phototaxis (e.g. 4–10 m, Nakano et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2020; Xu et al., 2013) , it is reasonable to expect that the species can inhabit more northern water bodies that are connected to the Shisanling Reservoir. Relative to the Shisanling Reservoir, large water bodies such as the Laurentian Great Lakes represent more complicated systems due to greater depths.…”

“…Golden mussels exhibit wide tolerance to many environmental factors such as pH, dissolved oxygen, calcium concentration, conductivity and ammonia concentration (Boltovskoy, 2015; Liu et al., 2020; Ricciardi, 1998). However, low water temperature is expected to restrict distribution of golden mussels in high‐latitude areas by affecting reproduction, filtering rates, growth rates and overwintering survival (Boltovskoy, 2015; Oliveira et al., 2010; Ricciardi, 1998; Tagliarolo et al., 2016; Zhao et al., 2019).…”

Estrategias de control de mejillones invasores: una revisión

“…A excepción de la obra de Kobak y otros ( 2008), donde se evaluó la luminosidad y la gravedad en el laboratorio, las otras metodologías identificadas de control físico se realizaron in situ. Además, se llevaron a cabo estudios sobre el control del mejillón a través del uso de diferentes temperaturas del agua (Perepelizin y Boltvoskoy, 2011;Piola y Hopkins, 2012;Yuan, et al, 2016;Gaag, et al, 2018;Liu, et al, 2020). De hecho, la temperatura fue identificada entre los factores con mayor capacidad de control: las temperaturas superiores a 20 ℃ afectan la fijación del viso de los mejillones Mytillopsis leucophaeata (Conrad, 1831) (Gaag, et al, 2018) y M. edulis (Clements, et al, 2018), y las superiores a 35 ℃ pueden matar a L. fortunei (Liu, et al, 2020) y M. galloprovincialis (Piola y Hopkins, 2012).…”
