“…Studies on aspects of its biology, ecology, and risk of invasion in port waters and nearby estuaries must be given priority (cf. Tan and Morton 2006), including the further examination of the soft fouling matter (undet. ), since these host microalgae and bacteria associated with fouling communities.…”

An immersion experiment was conducted in the Manila South Harbor to document the development of sessile biofouling communities. Test panels were submerged below the sea surface in April 2012 for short-(one and three months) and long-term (one year) exposures in seawater, then fouling types and occurrences were scored based on digital images of panel surfaces. The short-term immersed panels were found with significant cover of soft fouling (undet.), slime, and the invasive Balanus (=Amphibalanus) amphitrite. These also filled the long-term immersed panels, although some fell off due to mortality from crude oil smothering. Perna viridis, native but also invasive, successfully established and then dominated the fouling cover by the 12 th month (April 2013). Oysters, bryozoans (Watersipora sp.), colonial tunicates, polychaetes (Hydroides sp.), and green algae contributed minor to fouling cover. These fouling communities in the Manila South Harbor consisted of organisms that were cosmopolitan in port waters of SE Asia. A similar study must be carried out in other major ports of the country and then compared.

“…It is known that M. sallei (R ´ecluz, 1849) tolerates higher salinities than M. leucophaeata. It even occurs at hypersalinity in the tropics (Morton 1989, Therriault & Orlova 2010, Tan & Tay 2018. Molecular genetic studies of the populations of Mytilopsis in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are lacking.…”

Basic information on shell dimensions, calcimass and periostracum mass, biomass, and the relation between the condition and reproduction of Mytilopsis leucophaeata was analyzed for a population in the North Sea Canal, the Netherlands. The mean dry flesh weight of individuals with a mean shell length of 12.5 mm showed a peak at the end of June. The mussel reached the highest mean dry flesh weight in the month before the spatfall started. The gonad index (GI) was high in June, followed by a period of decrease until September and a period of increase until November. The condition index (CI) peaked in June and decreased during the remainder part of the year. The range of CI was highest in May when the gonadal development progressed and was smallest in June when the gonadal development was complete. The CI decreased during the rest of the year. Quantile regressions showed a highly significant relation between CI and shell length. Based on the regression coefficients, the CI was maximal at a shell length of 11.4 mm and minimal at 12.5 mm. Condition index variation was highest within a shell length range of 10-15 mm.

“…Dreissenid mussels are well-known invasive species and economic pests in aquatic ecosystems [ 11 , 12 ]. These include the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha , the quagga mussel Dreissena rostriformis bugensis in North America and Europe [ 13 ], Mytilopsis leucophaeata in Europe [ 14 ], and Mytilopsis sallei in Australasia, East Asia, and India [ 15 , 16 ]. They can settle gregariously on submerged manmade structures, causing serious biofouling problems.…”

TRPM7-Mediated Ca2+ Regulates Mussel Settlement through the CaMKKβ-AMPK-SGF1 Pathway

Many marine invertebrates have planktonic larval and benthic juvenile/adult stages. When the planktonic larvae are fully developed, they must find a favorable site to settle and metamorphose into benthic juveniles. This transition from a planktonic to a benthic mode of life is a complex behavioral process involving substrate searching and exploration. Although the mechanosensitive receptor in the tactile sensor has been implicated in sensing and responding to surfaces of the substrates, few have been unambiguously identified. Recently, we identified that the mechanosensitive transient receptor potential melastatin-subfamily member 7 (TRPM7) channel, highly expressed in the larval foot of the mussel Mytilospsis sallei, was involved in substrate exploration for settlement. Here, we show that the TRPM7-mediated Ca2+ signal was involved in triggering the larval settlement of M. sallei through the calmodulin-dependent protein kinase kinase β/AMP-activated protein kinase/silk gland factor 1 (CaMKKβ-AMPK-SGF1) pathway. It was found that M. sallei larvae preferred the stiff surfaces for settlement, on which TRPM7, CaMKKβ, AMPK, and SGF1 were highly expressed. These findings will help us to better understand the molecular mechanisms of larval settlement in marine invertebrates, and will provide insights into the potential targets for developing environmentally friendly antifouling coatings for fouling organisms.
