“…At given target temperatures, M. leucophaeata appears to need a longer exposure to ensure 100 % kill than the time needed by M. edulis, (Jenner, 1982) and D. polymorpha (Jenner & Janssen-Mommen, 1993). The greater environmental stress imposed by brackish waters compared with fresh and marine waters presupposes a higher temperature tolerance in estuarine species (Wright et al, 1983) and this would conform to expectations for an animal originating in the Caribbean (Marelli & Gray, 1983).…”

“…We are not aware of any precise data on planktonic larval duration for O. equestris, but 2 weeks is typical of the genus (Castanos et al, 2005) and this is similar to planktonic duration of C. virginica in southern waters. Still, by brooding its larvae for several days during early development when physiological tolerances are most constrained (Wright et al, 1983), O. equestris may increase larval survivorship and long distance dispersal potential.…”

Identifying and reducing AFLP genotyping error: an example of tradeoffs when comparing population structure in broadcast spawning versus brooding oysters

Phylogeographic inferences about gene flow are strengthened through comparison of co-distributed taxa, but also depend on adequate genomic sampling. Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLPs) provide a rapid and inexpensive source of multilocus allele frequency data for making genomically robust inferences. Every AFLP study initially generates markers with a range of locus-specific genotyping error rates and applies criteria to select a subset for analysis. However, there has been very little empirical evaluation of the best tradeoff between culling all but the lowest-error loci to minimize overall genotyping error versus the potential for increasing population genetic signal by retaining more loci. Here, we used AFLPs to compare population structure in co-distributed broadcast spawning (Crassostrea virginica) and brooding (Ostrea equestris) oyster species. Using existing methods for almost entirely automated marker selection and scoring, genotyping error tradeoffs were evaluated by comparing results across a nested series of data sets with mean mismatch errors of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 44%. Artifactual population structure was diagnosed in high-error data sets and we assessed the low-error point at which expected population substructure signal was lost. In both species, we identified substructure patterns deemed to be inaccurate at average mismatch error rates p2 and 44%. In the species comparison, the optimum data sets showed higher gene flow for the brooding oyster with more oceanic salinity tolerances. AFLP tradeoffs may differ among studies, but our results suggest that important signal may be lost in the pursuit of 'acceptable' error levels and our procedures provide a general method for empirically exploring these tradeoffs.

“…The last two species are commonly found in backwaters and coastal waters (Rajagopal et al,, 1990) whereas P. in&a is a marine species (Kuriakose, 1980). As there is greater temperature natural variation in backwaters compared with the marine environments, the temperature tolerance among these bivalves may be related to habitat differences (Bayne et al, 1976;Wright et al, 1983).…”

“…Heat treatment for mussel control in power plants has received some attention in recent years (Wright et al, 1983;Claudi and Mackie, 1994). In this method, the heated effluent from power plants, instead of being discharged, is recirculated through the cooling conduits.…”

Abstract-l.Results of a study on lethal and sublethal responses of different size groups of the tropical brown mussel, Perna indica, when exposed to different temperatures are presented.2. Exposure to a temperature of 38°C showed 100% mortality of 9 mm size group mussels in 120 min. 3. Mortality was dependent on age (size) of the mussels, young ones being more susceptible than older ones.4. All size groups showed a progressive reduction in physiological activities such as filtration rate, foot activity and byssus thread production when temperature was increased from 30°C.5. This study suggests that heat treatment is an attractive alternative to chlorination for mussel fouling control in tropical power stations.
