“…Samples and standards (from 0 to 0.8 mg mL −1 ) were treated with resorcinolthiourea reagent and 30% HCl, heated to 80°C for 10 min and read at 520 nm in a Multisakan Spectrum Spectrophotometer (ThermoOrion) after 5 min of cooling at room temperature. Total hemolymph volume was calculated using the following equation (Martin et al, 1958;Jones and Kamel, 1984):…”

“…With the exception of a few months, Cu concentrations were reduced in periwinkles infected by Cryptocotyle lingua and Renicola roscovita. Littorina littorea infected with C. lingua are known to have smaller blood volumes than uninfected periwinkles (Jones & Kamel, 1984). As haemocyanin is a Cu containing respiratory pigment in L. littorea, a parasiteinduced reduction in the blood volume of the host would be consistent with lower Cu burdens.…”

Trematode parasite influence on copper, iron and zinc content of polluted Littorina littorea: infection, host sex and time effects

Temporal variations in copper, iron and zinc levels in the periwinkle, Littorina littorea, were investigated to determine whether levels were affected by the sex of the organisms and/or by the presence of two species of trematode parasite. Significant monthly changes in concentrations of all these metals were found, with levels varying according to periwinkle sex and parasite infection. Periwinkles infected by either Cryptocotyle lingua or Renicola roscovita had reduced copper and iron concentrations compared to same-sex uninfected periwinkles, although infected periwinkles generally contained higher concentrations of zinc. Periwinkles infected by the more invasive C. lingua rediae had lower copper concentrations than those infected by R. roscovita sporocysts. These results clearly indicate that in areas of high parasite prevalence L. littorea is not an ideal metal-biomonitor.

“…We thus determined the maximal possible ECS value before measured osmolyte tissue concentrations became negative. We compared these values to the available literature data for the respective species (or taxon) and tissue type where possible (Martin et al, 1958;Simon et al, 1964;Robertson, 1980;Sabourin and Stickle, 1981;Jones and Kamel, 1984;Taylor and Andrews, 1988;Gainey, 1994). Generally, muscle tissues have a smaller ECS volume than mantle or gill tissues, and whole-body samples contain the largest ECS portion (Michaelidis et al, 2005;Taylor and Ragg, 2005).…”

Low-salinity stress can severely affect the fitness of marine organisms. As desalination has been predicted for many coastal areas with ongoing climate change, it is crucial to gain more insight in mechanisms that constrain salinity acclimation ability. Low-salinity induced depletion of the organic osmolyte pool has been suggested to set a critical boundary in osmoconforming marine invertebrates. Whether inorganic ions also play a persistent role during low-salinity acclimation processes is currently inconclusive. We investigated the salinity tolerance of six marine invertebrate species following a four-week acclimation period around their low-salinity tolerance threshold. To obtain complete osmolyte budgets, we quantified organic and inorganic osmolytes and determined fitness proxies. Our experiments corroborated the importance of the organic osmolyte pool during low-salinity acclimation. Methylamines constituted a large portion of the organic osmolyte pool in molluscs, whereas echinoderms exclusively utilized free amino acids. Inorganic osmolytes were involved in long-term cellular osmoregulation in most species, thus are not just modulated with acute salinity stress. The organic osmolyte pool was not depleted at low salinities, whilst fitness was severely impacted. Instead, organic and inorganic osmolytes often stabilized at low-salinity. These findings suggest that low-salinity acclimation capacity cannot be simply predicted from organic osmolyte pool size. Rather, multiple parameters (i.e. osmolyte pools, net growth, water content and survival) are necessary to establish critical salinity ranges. However, a quantitative knowledge of cellular osmolyte systems is key to understand the evolution of euryhalinity and to characterize targets of selection during rapid adaptation to ongoing desalination.
