“…In fact, differences between the tested procedures in experimental studies may account for some of the discrepancy observed in the literature results (Rolla and Mota, 2010;Montresor et al, 2013). Animal rearing under laboratory conditions for commercial processes and/or laboratory experiments assumes that the specimens are in good health conditions even after being subjected to stressors (e.g., sampling, handling, abrupt temperature changes and transport) (Gatenby et al, 1998;Patterson et al, 1999;Lee et al, 2008).…”

“…Thus, acclimation is a set of adaptations under laboratory conditions, and it is important to ensure the conditions and animal quality for performing reliable laboratory experiments (Brasil, 1988;Resgalla Junior et al, 2008;Maroñas and Damborenea, 2009). The acclimation time to L. fortunei, as reported in the literature, ranges from 0 to 20 days (Maroñas and Damborenea, 2009;Oliveira et al, 2010b;Di Fiori et al, 2012;Calazans et al, 2013;Montresor et al, 2013). In fact, in some experiments, the acclimation time is not reported (e.g., Montalto and Drago, 2003;Pestana et al, 2009;Oliveira et al, 2010a).…”

“…Golden mussel macrofouling is characterized by uncontrolled growth and rapid incrustation into hard substrates, on which the organisms set and grow in pipes and the waterway, consequently blocking the water flow and affecting the cooling systems in power plants . Currently, the main control strategies for golden mussel are based on chemical molluscicides; however, there are few studies on the efficacy of chemicals for macrofouling control (Montresor et al, 2013). In addition, relatively little attention has been given to laboratory rearing proceeds of L. fortunei, which ensures the condition and quality of the animals when performing reliable laboratory experiments using chemical compounds.…”

“…A literature review identifies a lack of standardization in the procedures that are used in experimental studies of L. fortunei, such as sampling, transport, rearing, monitoring of the animal's health, acclimation time to the laboratory, size range of the tested animals, monitored physico-chemical parameters, food availability during the experiments, and criteria for the selection of suitable specimens to be tested for each bioassay (Cataldo et al, 2003;Pereyra et al, 2011Pereyra et al, , 2012Di Fiori et al, 2012;Mansur et al, 2012;Calazans et al, 2013;Montresor et al, 2013;Sylvester et al, 2013). In fact, differences between the tested procedures in experimental studies may account for some of the discrepancy observed in the literature results (Rolla and Mota, 2010;Montresor et al, 2013).…”

“…Moreover, to perform reliable laboratory experiments, the choice of specimens for use in each experimental test is important. Thus, based on previous studies (e.g., Pereyra et al, 2011;Di Fiori et al, 2012;Montresor et al, 2013), the selection of golden mussel specimens for bioassays is based on visual inspection, in that specimens were excluded from testing when they did not attach to containers or did not present an extended siphon. However, simple visual inspection of the open shells cannot provide sufficient information about the golden mussel health because, according to Montresor et al (2013), golden mussel specimens also presented gapping shells when exposed to noxious levels of ammonia.…”

Physiological response of invasive mussel Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Bivalvia: Mytilidae) submitted to transport and experimental conditions

Successful animal rearing under laboratory conditions for commercial processes or laboratory experiments is a complex chain that includes several stressors (e.g., sampling and transport) and incurs, as a consequence, the reduction of natural animal conditions, economic losses and inconsistent and unreliable biological results. Since the invasion of the bivalve Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) in South America, several studies have been performed to help control and manage this fouling pest in industrial plants that use raw water. Relatively little attention has been given to the laboratory rearing procedure of L. fortunei, its condition when exposed to a stressor or its acclimation into laboratory conditions. Considering this issue, the aims of this study are to (i) investigate L. fortunei physiological responses when submitted to the depuration process and subsequent air transport (without water/dry condition) at two temperatures, based on glycogen concentrations, and (ii) monitor the glycogen concentrations in different groups when maintained for 28 days under laboratory conditions. Based on the obtained results, depuration did not affect either of the groups when they were submitted to approximately eight hours of transport. The variation in glycogen concentration among the specimens that were obtained from the field under depurated and non-depurated conditions was significant only in the first week of laboratory growth for the non-depurated group and in the second week for the depurated group. In addition, the tested temperature did not affect either of the groups that were submitted to transport. The glycogen concentrations were similar to those of the specimens that were obtained from the field in third week, which suggests that the specimens acclimated to laboratory conditions during this period of time. Thus, the results indicate that the air transport and acclimation time can be successfully incorporated into experimental studies of L. fortunei. Finally, the tolerance of L. fortunei specimens to the stressor tested herein can help us understand the invasive capacity of this mussel during the establishment process.Keywords: bioinvasion, glycogen, golden mussel, physiology.Resposta fisiológica do mexilhão invasor Limnoperna fortunei (Dunker, 1857) (Bilvalvia: Mytilidae) submetido ao transporte e condições experimentais ResumoA criação bem sucedida de animais em condições de laboratório para processos comerciais ou experimentais é uma cadeia complexa que inclui vários fatores de estresse (ex. coleta e transporte) que tem como consequência a redução das condições naturais do animal, prejuízos econômicos e resultados biológicos inconsistentes.

Limnoperna fortunei (L. fortunei) (Dunker, 1857), the golden mussel, is an invasive species possessing exceptional environmental adaptability and a destructive impact on water systems and artificial structures. To better conservation of freshwater ecosystems by controlling this mussel, it is essential to study its distribution, potential for invasion, environmental tolerance and biological traits. This paper outlines the distribution of L. fortunei in Asia and South America, as well as its potential for future invasion in freshwater habitats, along with the research methods employed. We find that the mussel had a temperature tolerance range of 8–35 °C and a pH range was 5–10, with some individuals surviving in extreme conditions for extended periods. We find that temperature was a decisive factor for success at reproductive stages, larval development and adult growth. The biological traits of L. fortunei are discussed, focusing on feeding habits, attachment characteristics and locomotion, with an emphasis on byssus structure, foot proteins and adhesion mechanisms. The study elucidates the impact of flow velocity, light exposure and substrate material on their attachment, with the optimal attachment being identified at a flow velocity of 0.3–0.9 m/s. Additionally, the mussel exhibits strong light avoidance performances and a preference for rough surfaces. Extensively‐researched control strategies are classified and summarized, primarily categorized into physical, chemical and biological control, with an outline of their respective strengths and limitations.
