Short-term feeding response of the mussel Mytilus chilensis exposed to diets containing the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella

Abstract

Short-term feeding response of the mussel Mytilus chilensis exposed to diets containing the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella Respuesta alimentaria inicial del bivalvo Mytilus chilensis expuesto a dietas conteniendo el dinoflagelado tóxico Alexandrium catenella

Effects of the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella on histopathogical and escape responses of the Northern scallop Argopecten purpuratus

“…100 g À1 wet weight). Navarro et al (2008) showed that in mussels Mytilus chilensis exposed to A. catenella over a relatively short time; clearance and filtration rates were reduced significantly in the first few hours of exposure, but after this period, feeding activities reached similar values to the T-iso control. Additionally, Fernandez-Reiriz et al (2008) highlighted that, despite the modification of feeding and digestive processes occurring during the first day of exposure, M. chilensis was able to develop mechanisms allowing exploitation of this toxic microalga as a food source.…”

Effects of Alexandrium minutum exposure on nutrition-related processes and reproductive output in oysters Crassostrea gigas

“…Alexandrium exposure is also known to have a negative impact on filtration and ingestion in bivalves (Bardouil et al, 1993;Wildish et al, 1998;Lassus et al, 1999;Li et al, 2001;Navarro et al, 2008). Inhibition of clearance was observed as the initial feeding response of Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg, 1793) exposed to A. tamarense (Lebour, 1925) and A. fundyense (Wildish et al, 1998).…”

Effect of ohmic heating on texture, microbial load, and cadmium and lead content of Chilean blue mussel (Mytilus chilensis)

“…Mytilus chilensis, Chilean blue mussel, also known as "chorito" or "quilmahue", is a bivalve filter feeder mollusk of the Mytilidae family found from Arica to Cape Horn in Chile (Lancellotti & Vásquez, 2000); it lives in the hard substrates of the intertidal zone to a depth of 25 m (Krapivka et al, 2007;Navarro, Contreras, & Chaparro, 2008). It is the second most important Chilean aquaculture production after salmon.…”
