“…It was experimentally shown that filtration rate of S. woodiana is higher in comparison to Unio douglasiae at higher temperature (Kim et al, 2011). Competition of S. woodiana is most possibly favoured by its overall stress-tolerance, assessed by biochemical markers such as cholinesterase enzyme activity (Corsi et al, 2007). Lake Balaton is the largest shallow freshwater lake in Central Europe.…”

“…However, contradictory results are reported for molluscs, particularly in field studies, in which fluctuations in dissolved oxygen or temperature, or any combined effects, can modulate the typical response (Gagnaire et al, 2008). In the study of Corsi et al (2007), invasive species of Anadonta, Anodonta woodiana, well adapted to new surroundings, showed significantly greater ChE activity than the endemic species (Anodonta sp.). This effect, the increased ChE activities, observed in oysters upon the second spray events of organophosphate (Bolton-Warberg et al, 2007), was explained as a ''hormetic'' response (Stebbing, 1982), where a toxic substance acts as a stimulant in small doses.…”

Metallothionein and glutathione inLymnaea stagnalisdetermine the specificity of responses to the effects of ionising radiation

The aim of our study was to distinguish the stress-related molecular response of the pulmonate mollusc Lymnaea stagnalis from the Chernobyl area in comparison with the consequences of other harmful effects, including the short-term effects of radiation and heating. Specimens inhabiting ponds near the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the cooling channel of the electric power station and the soilreclamation channel (groups R, T and C, correspondingly), and specimens adapted to laboratory conditions (a control group (CL), a disposable group exposed to 2 mGy X-ray radiation over the body (RL), and a group exposed to 25°C for 4 days (TL)) were compared. Despite high variability of responses, Principle Component Analysis distinctly separated the laboratory and feral groups into two sets. In the feral groups, low levels of the stress-related and metal-binding protein metallothionein (MT), protein carbonyls and lactate dehydrogenase in the digestive gland were indicated. The main separating criteria selected by classification and regression tree analysis were the protein carbonyls, cholinesterase and MT. Molluscs from group R were clearly distinguished by the lowest levels of MT, Mn-superoxide dismutase and lactate dehydrogenase, and the highest level of glutathione, demonstrating that the oppression of the gene-determined stress-related response and its partially metabolic compensation can be possible markers for chronic environmental effects of irradiation.

“…Because of the differing number of power units operating in the power plant, and the discharge of cooling water at different time intervals, the temperature of water in the Ciepły Channel is relatively unstable. According to Sîrbu et al (2005) and Corsi et al (2007), S. woodiana is physiologically predisposed to function in harsh environmental conditions. Byrne et al (2000) claimed that the constant presence of mature oocytes in gonads could explain the adaptation of mussels to unstable environmental conditions.…”

The reproductive activity of females of the Chinese pond mussel (Sinanodonta woodiana) was investigated in a European population inhabiting cooling water. The study used histological and stereological methods to determine gonad structure, changes in reproductive follicles during gametogenesis, oocyte development, glochidia structure, and brooding periods. Water in the channel of the "Dolna Odra" power plant did not freeze during the winter, and its mean annual temperature was 18.4°C. The population sex ratio was female biased (χ 2 = 25.70, df = 1, P \ 0.0001). Ovaries in mussels were formed by reproductive follicles. Previtellogenic and vitellogenic oocytes were attached to the follicle wall via the cytoplasmic stalk, and mature ovulated oocytes were present in the follicle lumen. Individuals with mature oocytes in gonads were present over the whole two-year study period, which indicates the continuous activity of gonads. Hooked glochidia had a larval thread. Females incubated the offspring in gill marsupia of outer demibranchs and were characterized by multiple tachytictic brooding periods. All gravid individuals presented mature and spent stages of gonadal development. The study provides the first direct information about the reproductive dynamics of this invasive species outside its original Asiatic range.
