“…The mussel meal performed its intended function and improved soil fertility due to the fact that the New Zealand mussel Perna canaliculus is a source of protein, lipids, and carbohydrate (Grienke et al 2014 ), which produced a positive response of soil fungi. Moreover, Srisunont and Babel ( 2015 ) report that the mussel Perna viridis takes up nutrients, and the process efficiency is 61% for carbon, 62% for nitrogen, and 79% for phosphorus. It also excretes these elements to the environment in which it lives, in the following amounts: 108, 35.5, and 46 mg day −1 , respectively, which makes it potentially a reliable and valuable source of essential elements for microorganisms.…”

The choice of the study subject was a consequence of the growing interest in volatile organic compounds which are strongly dispersed in the environment. The knowledge of o-cresol’s capability for being broken down by bacteria should be supplemented by studies aimed at determining the biochemical and microbiological activity of soils. o-Cresol was applied at the following rates: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 mg of o-cresol kg−1 d.m. of soil to determine its effect on the biological properties of soil. The activity of dehydrogenases, catalase, urease, acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, arylsulfatase, and β-glucosidase, the eight groups of microorganism counts, was determined in soil samples after 45 days and the barley yield was determined. Preventive biostimulation with Perna canaliculus mussel meal, illustrated by means of the index of fertility (IF), was conducted in order to eliminate the adverse effect of o-cresol. The soil and crop resistance index (RS) was used to illustrate the response of barley, and R:S—the rhizosphere effect index was used to determine the effect of the crop on the enzymatic activity of soil. o-Cresol had a beneficial effect on the biological activity of soil at an acceptable rate of 0.1 and 1 mg kg−1 d.m. of soil, and it became its inhibitor after being applied at 10 and 50 mg kg−1 d.m. of soil, which also brought about a decrease in the resistance of spring barley. Dehydrogenases are the most sensitive, and catalase is the least sensitive, to the pressure of o-cresol in soil. Mussel meal can be recommended as a biostimulator of soil fertility. It also eliminated the negative effect of o-cresol on its biological activity.

“…This is understandable, as the New Zealand mussel is a source of peptides, lipids and polysaccharides, the three metabolites significant for both bacterial and fungal growth, which is why its effectiveness was expected [86]. It is also a reliable source of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus [87].…”

Perna canaliculus as an Ecological Material in the Removal of o-Cresol Pollutants from Soil

et al. 2021

Soil contamination with cresol is a problem of the 21st century and poses a threat to soil microorganisms, humans, animals, and plants. The lack of precise data on the potential toxicity of o-cresol in soil microbiome and biochemical activity, as well as the search for effective remediation methods, inspired the aim of this study. Soil is subjected to four levels of contamination with o-cresol: 0, 0.1, 1, 10, and 50 mg o-cresol kg−1 dry matter (DM) of soil and the following are determined: the count of eight groups of microorganisms, colony development index (CD) and ecophysiological diversity index (EP) for organotrophic bacteria, actinobacteria and fungi, and the bacterial genetic diversity. Moreover, the responses of seven soil enzymes are investigated. Perna canaliculus is a recognized biosorbent of organic pollutants. Therefore, microbial biostimulation with Perna canaliculus shells is used to eliminate the negative effect of the phenolic compound on the soil microbiome. Fungi appears to be the microorganisms most sensitive to o-cresol, while Pseudomonas sp. is the least sensitive. In o-cresol-contaminated soils, the microbiome is represented mainly by the bacteria of the Proteobacteria and Firmicutes phyla. Acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase and urease can be regarded as sensitive indicators of soil disturbance. Perna canaliculus shells prove to be an effective biostimulator of soil under pressure with o-cresol.

“…() calculated that the nitrogen and phosphorus uptake by green mussels were 265 and 67 mg −1 year −1 individual −1 , respectively, which, considering a one hectare farm with 15 km of mussel ropes and 500 individuals per meter, correspond to 1987 and 502.5 kg −1 ha −1 year −1 . Working with the same species in laboratory conditions, Srisunont and Babel (), reported that green mussels can remove particulate nitrogen and phosphorus at 13.5, and 4.6 mg −1 year −1 individual −1 , which would lead to a lower uptake per hectare (101 and 34.5 kg −1 ha −1 year −1 respectively). Although these estimates were based on model predictions or laboratory experiments, these results indicate that the amount of nitrogen uptake by mussel farms are probably higher than 100 kg −1 ha −1 year −1 .…”

This review analyses how mussel farming can contribute to the challenge of feeding the current and future world population in a more efficient and sustainable way. The analysis lays a foundation of the main issues with current practices of animal protein production, and compares them with the alternative of a massive expansion of mussel farming as a means to produce high‐quality protein for human and animal nutrition. The review also covers the ecological goods and services that mussels provide to the ocean and to the atmosphere, the health of mussel products, and the many potential uses of by‐products from the mussel industry in agriculture, in wastewater treatment, and in the feed industry.
