“…Xiao et al. () found that narrow salinity ranges had small effect on metabolism of C. fluminea . However, other mechanisms, such as reducing valve opening time and/or physiological responses to salinity (Dietz, Wilcox, Byrne, Lynn, & Silverman, ; McCorkle & Dietz, ; Ruiz & Souza, ), are likely to be more effective that mechanical displacement over extended periods of time.…”

“…Small-sized individuals contributed the most for bioturbation, presumably because smaller individuals may face less mechanical resistance (de la Huz, Lastra, & López, 2002) and are also more responsive to changes in environmental conditions (Gardner et al, 2011;Godbold, Bulling, & Solan, 2011;Werner & Gilliam, 1984). In addition, small individuals of C. fluminea have been reported to have higher metabolic requirements (Xiao et al, 2014) and, as they invest more in tissue growth than larger-sized individuals, increased particle mixing may lead to increased feeding effort. Mattice and Dye (1976) In contrast to the present study, however, Majdi, Bardon, and Gilbert (2014) tested the effects of body size on bioturbation behavior in C. fluminea with a similar approach and found that medium and large sizes contributed more to bioturbation at temperatures closer to the mid-tolerance range of the species.…”

The freshwater–marine transition that characterizes an estuarine system can provide multiple entry options for invading species, yet the relative importance of this gradient in determining the functional contribution of invading species has received little attention. The ecological consequences of species invasion are routinely evaluated within a freshwater versus marine context, even though many invasive species can inhabit a wide range of salinities. We investigate the functional consequences of different sizes of Corbicula fluminea—an invasive species able to adapt to a wide range of temperatures and salinity—across the freshwater–marine transition in the presence versus absence of warming. Specifically, we characterize how C. fluminea affect fluid and particle transport, important processes in mediating nutrient cycling (NH 4‐N, NO 3‐N, PO 4‐P). Results showed that sediment particle reworking (bioturbation) tends to be influenced by size and to a lesser extent, temperature and salinity; nutrient concentrations are influenced by different interactions between all variables (salinity, temperature, and size class). Our findings demonstrate the highly context‐dependent nature of the ecosystem consequences of invasion and highlight the potential for species to simultaneously occupy multiple components of an ecosystem. Recognizing of this aspect of invasibility is fundamental to management and conservation efforts, particularly as freshwater and marine systems tend to be compartmentalized rather than be treated as a contiguous unit. We conclude that more comprehensive appreciation of the distribution of invasive species across adjacent habitats and different seasons is urgently needed to allow the true extent of biological introductions, and their ecological consequences, to be fully realized.

“…Temperature has also been observed to influence the filtration rate and assimilation efficiency of bivalves (Widdows & Bayne ). To date, there have been many studies on the effects of temperature on the metabolic responses in marine bivalve molluscs, for example, Chlamys farreri (Yang, Zhang, Wang, He & Zhang ), Meretrix meretrix (Tang, Liu, Yang & Xiang ), Pinctada mazatlanica (Saucedo, Ocampo, Monteforte & Bervera ), Corbicula fluminea (Xiao, Li, Du, Jiang, Chen & Yu ) and Pinna nobilis (Trigos, Rafael Garcia‐March, Vicente, Tena & Torres ).…”

Effects of temperature and salinity on oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion in different colour strains of the Manila clam,Ruditapes philippinarum

et al. 2016

The metabolic responses of different colour strains of Ruditapes philippinarum in terms of oxygen consumption and ammonia excretion to changes in temperature (15-35°C) and salinity (20-40) were investigated. In our range of temperatures (15-35°C), oxygen consumption rate (OCR) increases in cultivated strains (White and Zebra) in opposition to the effect in the wild strain which reach a maximum at 25°C. The highest Q 10 coefficients were 2.741 for zebra strain, 4.326 for white strain, and 1.944 for wild at temperatures of 25-30, 30-35 and 20-25°C respectively. In our range of salinity (20-40°C), OCRs of white strain and zebra strain firstly decreased to lowest level at 25 and 30, and then increased to highest level at 35 and 40 respectively. When the salinity is beyond 35, the OCR decreased and the turning point was found in the white strain and wild, but the zebra strain OCR still increased to a highest level (1.906 mg g À1 h À1 ) at 40 (P < 0.05). These results show that the cultivated colour strains of R. philippinarum were different from wild in terms of metabolic responses, and information on its response to different temperature and salinity have implications in the aquaculture industry.

“…The highest abundance of Etak found was 11.9mm in length. According to the John statement, C. fluminea can also be found at the substrates with higher fine granules but maybe in small length size as found at this study area range around 11-12 mm compared to the range of shell length for small size was mentioned in guideline (19.310±1.137mm) by Xiao and Jiang (11). However, McMahon (12)stated that C. fluminea can live in a variety of substrates, but prefers sand and gravel, over silt hard surfaces.…”

Corbicula fluminea (Bivalvia: Corbiculidae), locally known as "etak" which is the favorite freshwater clams in the Kelantan state. This study was conducted to study on Etak distribution in Sungai Pergau at Gunung Reng which is known as a recreational spot. As it is the favorite freshwater clam in the state, the data could be helpful in monitoring its presence and if in decline, remedial and replenishment could be introduced. The numbers, weight and the length measurement of C. fluminea were identified as C. fluminea parameters. In addition, water quality used (conductivity, pH, turbidity, salinity, temperature, DO and nitrate) and types of substrate were also studied to identify the habitat characteristics that affect the distribution of this species. As there was no documentation of distribution and density of C. fluminea in Sg. Kelantan, it would be difficult to compare the density and distribution of "etak" in the others river in Kelantan. In total 166 individuals of C. fluminea (77g) found at middle streams with 11-12.5mm in length. As the finding shows that, the distribution of C. fluminea at Gunung Reng was not affected by water quality. In this study shows that the most substrate ranged from 0.25mm and 0.71mm which represent sand (sand-coarse and sand-fine). It is believed that the smaller substrates help to trap more suspended materials as food for C. fluminea and the harvesting activities reduce the time for the clams to grow mature with a larger size in length.
