“…In our study this species was found panmictic at three sampling geographic areas, presenting zero differences in the both sequences of COI and 18S rRNA. Other authors also detected low haplotype and nucleotide diversity in P. radiata specimens among different sampling areas (Meyer et al, 2013;Barbieri et al, 2016) while at Adriatic Sea (Sobra Bay) and at United Arab Emirates high haplotype along with low nucleotide diversity was found by Gavrilović et al (2017) and Cunha et al (2011) respectively. Although these sequences were not analysed in comparison to our haplotypes owing to their much shorter available sequences, our results are in total agreement with these inferences concerning haplotype and nucleotide diversity.…”

Bivalve molluscs are a diverse group of animals with particular economic and ecological importance. Their morphological characteristics frequently confuse their identification leading to mislabelling of edible species. Genetic diversity is critical to the resilience of marine bivalve populations in the face of environmental stressors such as ocean acidification and warming. In this study, we characterized the phylogeny and defined the first DNA barcodes of six marine bivalves [Ostrea edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) Arca noae (Linnaeus, 1758), Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814), Venus verrucosa (Linnaeus, 1758), Calllista chione (Linnaeus, 1758) and Ruditapes decussatus (Linnaeus, 1758)] sampled from different coastal areas of Aegean and Ionian Seas using the molecular markers cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) and 18S ribosomal RNA (18S rRNA). Further, COI gene was employed to investigate the population genetic diversity since 18S rRNA exhibited no conspecific differences. The sequence of 18S rRNA successfully discriminated the bivalves at family or superfamily level but occasionally proved insufficient for species identification. Contrariwise, COI was highly informative and could reliably distinguish all species. Population haplotype diversity was moderate to high and was always accompanied by generally low nucleotide diversity, indicating genetically closely related haplotypes. The invasive Pinctada radiata was found to be panmictic even among distant sampling areas, while Ostrea edulis was the only species that exhibited moderate levels of population subdivision. Finally, here we report for the first time the presence of Ostrea stentina in Thermaikos Gulf sampled among Ostrea edulis specimens, demonstrating a new invasive bivalve species in Eastern Mediterranean.

“…The rayed pearl oyster Pinctada radiata (Leach, 1814), originated in the Indo-Pacific, and is the oldest reported Lessepsian migrant in the Mediterranean. This bivalve has successfully spread along the eastern and central Mediterranean basins as well as in the Adriatic (Gavrilović et al, 2017); nonetheless, records in the north-western sectors are still scarce. The unique first citation in Sardinia dates from 2012, from a single specimen collected in situ in the south area (Stasolla et al, 2014).…”

“…For these ecological implications, the species should be worth of in-depth monitoring, also by the involvement of citizen science initiatives (https:// www.lifepinna.eu/citizen-science/). Considering the recorded sites (close to mussel farms, pontoon of artificial structures, marinas and sheltered bays) aquaculture and maritime transport are the most probable combined pathway for the introduction in the study area (Gavrilović et al, 2017;Png-Gonzalez et al, 2021). were collected randomly in the reef, passed through a 0.5 mm mesh and fixed with 5% formaldehyde.…”

New records of introduced species in the Mediterranean Sea (April 2023)

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This Collective article reports 17 introduced species and 22 new locations for these species in the Mediterranean Sea. The reports are from three different Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD) subregions (Aegean-Levantine Sea, Adriatic Sea and Western Mediterranean Sea) and the Sea of Marmara and cover ten different countries. The goal of consistent and detailed reporting of introduced species is to complement the existing species inventories and serve as a basis for establishing monitoring strategies and other conservation measures. Some of the reports from this article are the first species records for the Mediterranean Sea, namely the green alga Udotea flabellum from the Aegean Sea (Turkey) and the deepbody boarfish Antigonia capros from the Balearic Sea (Spain). In addition, new records of introduced species are included for different seas, namely the moon crab Matuta victor for the Aegean Sea (Greece), the whale shark Rhincodon typus and the lionfish Pterois miles for the Alboran Sea (Spain), the almaco jack Seriola rivoliana for the Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy), and the hound needlefish Tylosurus crocodilus for the Adriatic Sea (Italy). Furthermore, reports on first country records are included: the red alga Colaconema codicola from Slovenia, the nudibranch Melibe viridis from Bosnia and Herzegovina, the lionfish Pterois miles from Montenegro, and the goldstripe sardinella Sardinella gibbosa from Syria, which also represents a second record for the Mediterranean Sea. Furthermore, the occurrence of the scleractinian coral Oculina patagonica was noted in Gulf of Lion (France). Four polychaete species, namely Leodice antennata, Timarete punctata and Branchiomma bairdi, are reported from the vermetid reef habitat and two of them (L. antennata and B. bairdi) are also recorded for the first time in Lebanon. Evidence for established populations of the Asian date mussel Arcuatula senhousia in the Sea of Marmara (Turkey) and the rayed pearl oyster Pinctada radiata around the island of Sardinia (Italy) is provided.

“…Moreover, R. venosa's shell was utilized to fabricate bionic coupling-layered ceramic/Al composites with improved lightweight and mechanical strength properties [131]. Being the gastropod a common predator of the mollusk M. galloprovincialis, Badiu and coworkers [132,133] Pinctada martensii (Dunker, 1880; Bivalvia, Ostreida: Margaritidae; Figure 19), also known as Pinctada imbricata (Röding, 1798), is a mollusk that is characteristic of benthic environments in the Atlantic and Indo-West Pacific areas and in the intertidal rocky regions of the Mumbai coast, to date listed among the most invasive species in the Mediterranean Sea [134]. It is one of the most important bivalves for the production of marine pearls all over the world and especially of the Lipid extracts, containing slightly different complex mixtures with a high cholesterol content and good although varying amounts of several saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), including ω-3 eicosapentaenoic ((5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z)-icosa-5,8,11,14,17-pentaenoic acid, Figure 18C) and docosahexenoic acids, ((4Z,7Z,10Z,13Z,16Z,19Z)-docosa-4,7,10,13,16,19-hexaenoic acid, Figure 18D) and, only for R.venosa, ω-6 arachidonic acid ( (5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z)-icosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid, Figure 18E), were applied to skin burns in in vivo rat models in order to examine their potential healing activity.…”

Collective Locomotion of Human Cells, Wound Healing and Their Control by Extracts and Isolated Compounds from Marine Invertebrates

The collective migration of cells is a complex integrated process that represents a common theme joining morphogenesis, tissue regeneration, and tumor biology. It is known that a remarkable amount of secondary metabolites produced by aquatic invertebrates displays active pharmacological properties against a variety of diseases. The aim of this review is to pick up selected studies that report the extraction and identification of crude extracts or isolated compounds that exert a modulatory effect on collective cell locomotion and/or skin tissue reconstitution and recapitulate the molecular, biochemical, and/or physiological aspects, where available, which are associated to the substances under examination, grouping the producing species according to their taxonomic hierarchy. Taken all of the collected data into account, marine invertebrates emerge as a still poorly-exploited valuable resource of natural products that may significantly improve the process of skin regeneration and restrain tumor cell migration, as documented by in vitro and in vivo studies. Therefore, the identification of the most promising invertebrate-derived extracts/molecules for the utilization as new targets for biomedical translation merits further and more detailed investigations.
