“…For Mytilus edulis fluctuations in energy substrates such as glycogen, proteins and lipids have been followed during the annual cycle in several organs (Zurburg et al, 1979). The accumulation of glycolytic end products in different organs of M. edulis has been investigated by Kluytmans et al (1977Kluytmans et al ( , 1978. After longer periods of anoxia excretion of volatile fatty acids (acetate and propionate) is observed (Kluytmans et al, 1978), when the mussels are incubated in seawater without oxygen.…”

“…The role of free amino acids other than alanine seems to be of minor importance in anaerobic metabolism. In the total mussel as well as in some organs as the posterior adductor muscle, an increase in glutamate and a decrease in aspartate levels during anoxia are sometimes observed (Kluytmans et al, 1977;De Zwaan, 1977;Livingstone & Bayne, 1977). However, seasonal variations in these changes due to anoxia and sometimes no changes at all are found (Kluytmarts et al, 1980).…”

“…Equally the accumulation of alanine varies seasonally. Until now only the accumulation of alanine was investigated in the distinct organs (Kluytmans et al, 1977). In this study the role of other amino acids has been examined in different organs as well as in the hemolymph.…”

1. Anaerobic energy metabolism was investigated in different organs of Mytilus edulis and the whole animal.2. Succinate accumulates to high levels in most organs but remains low in the hemolymph. 3. After 16 hours propionate accumulation is observed in all organs. Experimental evidence is not sufficient yet to point out organs that produce more propionate than others.4. Acetate is a minor end product. 5. Acetate and propionate are found in the hemolymph in amounts equal to those in the organs. 6. Animals incubated in oxygen-free seawater accumulate more end products than animals exposed to air, in the form of volatile fatty acids that are excreted into the incubation water.7. Alanine and glutamate increase in the posterior adductor muscle. Aspartate decreases in the total animal, posterior adductor muscle and gills, while in the hemolymph decreases in alanine, asparagine, serine, threonine and proline are observed.

The effects of prolonged emersion and submersion by tidal manipulation on marine macrobenthos

et al. 1994

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Effects of tidal manipulation, resulting in prolonged periods of emersion and submersion or in protracted tidal cycles, on estuarine benthic animals are reviewed .Prolonged submersion periods did not show effects on mortality of most benthic animals tested, with the exception of the crumb-of-bread sponge Halichondrea panicea, which, at low water-flow rates, was covered with a layer of bacteria and subsequently died .Protracted low-water periods of 18 hours during several weeks hardly caused any mortality . However, protracted low-water periods of 30 hours during some weeks or emersion during several days caused a strong increase in mortality, depending on : the duration of emersion, temperature, condition of the animals, species and age . At temperatures below -1 °C and above 24 °C mortality was generally high. Animals with a low glycogen content were more sensitive to emersion than those with a high content . Species with a shell and those that are relatively big were less sensitive than those without a shell or of small size .The reproductive cycle of benthic animals could be delayed or accelerated by both emersion and submersion . 219
