“…A flow‐through system that draws directly from an infested water body provides a continuous source of veligers for studies that measure settlement rate (Pucherelli & Claudi, 2017; Waller et al, 2021). Veliger density in the experimental units will vary over time, depending on natural reproduction in the source water.…”

Since their introduction to North America in the 1980s, research to develop effective control tools for invasive mussels (Dreissena polymorpha and D. rostriformis bugensis) has been ongoing across various research institutions using a range of testing methods. Inconsistencies in experimental methods and reporting present challenges for comparing data, repeating experiments, and applying results. The Invasive Mussel Collaborative established the Toxicity Testing Work Group (TTWG) in 2019 to identify “best practices” and guide development of a standard framework for dreissenid mussel toxicity testing protocols. We reviewed the literature related to laboratory‐based dreissenid mussel toxicity tests and determined the degree to which standard guidelines have been used and their applicability to dreissenid mussel testing. We extracted detailed methodology from 99 studies from the peer‐reviewed and gray literature and conducted a separate analysis for studies using presettlement and postsettlement mussels. We identified specific components of methods and approaches that could be refined or standardized for dreissenid mussels. These components included species identification, collection methods, size/age class distinction, maintenance practices, testing criteria, sample size, response measures, reporting parameters, exposure methods, and mortality criteria. We consulted experts in the field of aquatic toxicology and dreissenid mussel biology on our proposed. The final recommendations contained in the present review are based on published standard guidelines, methods reported in the published and gray literature, and the expertise of TTWG members and an external panel. In addition, our review identifies research needs for dreissenid mussel testing including improved methods for early–life stage testing, comparative data on life stages and between dreissenid mussel species, inclusion of a reference toxicant, and additional testing of nontarget species (i.e., other aquatic organisms).

“…They came to the conclusion that veliger size, ambient water temperature, and UV exposure all affected mortality. In the review of ultraviolet radiation's effects on domestic animals, according to Sherri, [40], UV-B had some beneficial effects on domestic animals, such as preserving the proper internal body temperature for the metabolism of some homoeothermic creatures, maintaining vitamin D metabolism, which is crucial for bone maintenance and growth regulation, hormonal functioning, organ development, and embryogene-sis. In his research on how UV radiation increases the toxicity of deep-water horizons, Alloy [3] found that excess UV-B radiation can harm a variety of aquatic animals and aquatic ecosystems.…”

UVR is a stressor that affect ecological and social systems. It has been noted that UVR presents numerous difficulties for aquatic and human worldwide. It's critical to understand how UVR affects <i>Clarias gariespinus</i> in order to promote healthy fish growth. This study determined how UVR affected catfish. 172 catfish samples were divided into four groups: UV-A, UV-B, UV-C, and controls. The control group was not exposed, whereas the other groups were exposed to UV-A, UV-B, and UV-C, respectively. The exposure period was 131 days, from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm daily. The result on color change shows that UV-C causes a change in color from dark to pink at the fingerling stage and UV-A causes a change in color from dark to slightly pink at the jumbo size, while no color change was observed in other samples. The result on growth rate indicates that the UV-B sample grew faster throughout the period of study, with the highest growth rates of 18.4, 16.2, 14.1, and 8.6 cm for the UV-B, UV-C, control, and UV-A samples, respectively. The result on the mortality rate of the samples shows that the control sample recorded the highest death rate (23) at the fingerling stage, followed by the UV-A (22), UV-C (19), and UV-B (12) samples. The result depicts that UV-B is capable of a rapid increase in the weight, growth, and life span of catfish; hence, exposure of catfish to UV-B can be adopted by fish farmers to improve the healthy fish growth of their farm.

“…Pucherelli and Claudi (2017) evaluate the effects of ultra-violet (UV) treatment on quagga mussel settlement and veliger survival. Unlike most previous studies that studied in vivo exposure of veligers to UV light sources in laboratory settings (Chalker-Scott and Scott 1998; Mackie and Claudi 2010; Delrose et al 2015;Stewart-Malone et al 2015), Pucherelli and Claudi (2017) utilized in situ UV equipment in treating an industrial facility. This very practical assessment of the UV treatment to control veliger settlement makes it a valuable contribution to the field.…”
