“…In this study, water transparency in Kulv river was increased from 1.0 to 1.4 m, as a result of the effective regulation of phytoplankton concentration and consequent decrease of chlorophyll a by filter feeding of mussels. It was also found that non-native dark false mussel populations improved water quality in a multi-impacted urban coastal lagoon, where high sewage-enriched effluents were discharged 43 . However, different from these non-native species which often invaded ecosystems and unbalanced ecological relationships, management of the native triangle sail mussel ( Hyriopsis cumingii ) in China was much more feasible.…”

The discharge of aquaculture wastewater increased significantly in China. Especially, high content of nitrogen and phosphorus in wastewater could destroy the receiving water environment. To reduce the pollution of aquaculture wastewater, farmed triangle sail mussel (Hyriopsis cumingii) was proposed to be cultivated in the river. This was the first time that bacteria (Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis) and microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris) were also used and complemented ecosystem functions. The pollutants in wastewater were assimilated by Chlorella vulgaris biomass, which was then removed through continuous filter-feeding of Hyriopsis cumingii. While, Bacillus subtilis and Bacillus licheniformis enhanced the digestive enzyme activities of mussel. It demonstrated that approximately 4 mussels/m3 was the optimal breeding density. Under such condition, orthogonal experiment indicated that the dose of Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus licheniformis, and Chlorella vulgaris should be 0.5, 1, and 2 mL respectively. Compared with mussel, mussel/microalgae, mussel/bacteria system, treatment ability of the mussel/microalgae/bacteria system in batch experiment was better, and 94.67% of NH3-N, 92.89% of TP and 77.78% of COD were reduced after reaction for 6 days. Finally, 90 thousand mussels per hectare of water were cultivated in Kulv river in China, and the field experiment showed that water quality was significantly improved. After about 35 days of operation, NH3-N, TN, TP and COD concentration were maintained around 0.3, 0.8, 0.3, and 30 mg/L respectively. Therefore, the mussel/microalgae /bacteria system in this study showed a sustainable and efficient characteristic of aquaculture wastewater bioremediation.

“…As discriminated by Principal Coordinates Analysis (PCA), native and non-native areas of Mytilopsis distribution were modulated by different environmental conditions, overall, statically supported by Canonical Analysis of Principal Coordinates (CAP). Environmental conditions in non-native areas showed a high correlation with increased values of water transparency, and this signi cant marked difference between native and non-native areas is known as a consequence of Mytilopsis invasion in brackish systems (Vanderploeg et al 2002;Neves et al 2020). High populational densities, associated with high biomass, may lead to habitat modi cations (e.g.…”

“…High populational densities, associated with high biomass, may lead to habitat modi cations (e.g. higher water transparency, reductions in chlorophyll a, and phytoplankton density) promoted by dark false mussel's ltration (Neves et al 2020). Moreover, as evidenced by PCA and statistically supported by CAP analysis, the environmental conditions most closely related to M. leucophaeata distribution areas were signi cantly different from the other three species tested (M. sallei, M. adamsi, and M. trautwineana).…”

“…The most recurring impact of invasive species is the loss of native biodiversity induced by new-established interactions with the receiving community (e.g. competition, predation), leading to changes in the structure of ecosystems and also possibly modifying their physical and chemical features (Anil 2006;Kalchev et al 2013;Ojaveer et al 2018;Neves et al 2020).…”

“…The major ecological consequences include the collapse of native mussel populations (e.g. through space and food competition), reductions in phytoplankton biomass and changes in water transparency through water ltration, and physical changes in the benthic substrates through biofouling (reviewed in Vanderploeg et al 2002;Neves et al 2020). Moreover, dreissenid colonization has implications for the nutrient dynamics in aquatic systems through the removal of nutrients by ltration but also recycling nutrients by mussel excretion, mainly dissolved phosphorus and nitrogen (Arnott and Vanni 1996;James et al 2001;Conroy et al 2005;Nadda et al 2008).…”

False mussels are recognized as the brackish water equivalent of zebra mussels, although the abiotic and habitat conditions that mediate these invaders’ success are barely known. In this context, we aimed to evaluate the native and non-native geographical distribution of Mytilopsis species worldwide and assess biological traits, environmental condition, and habitat associated with false mussels in native and invaded systems. Our hypothesis is that Mytilopsis invasion is driven by species plasticity to environmental conditions and substrate use in brackish systems, where the colonization of non-native populations is favored by great availability of artificial substrates and tolerance to wide ranges of environmental conditions. Besides, this study provides the occurrence range and distribution patterns of Mytilopsis species within their introduced and native areas and tracks the spread of introduced populations worldwide. Considering the five species evaluated, M. leucophaeata and M. sallei are the most widespread, while M. adamsi, M. trautwineana, and M. africana showed more restricted geographic distribution. In the last decades, M. leucophaeata and M. sallei consolidated and expanded their distributions. Environmental conditions were significantly different between native and non-native areas, where Mytilopsis populations presented significantly higher densities. Non-native populations exhibited remarkable plasticity concerning habitat colonization that was more frequent on artificial substrata. Mytilopsis populations presented significant differences on their biological traits, habitat environmental conditions, and substrate use between native and non-native areas. These species seem to adapt to the conditions of invaded systems, changing their preferences, which reflects plasticity and suggests a potential shift of their realized niches.
