Reproductive biology of the brooding Antarctic lamellibranch Kidderia subquadratum PelseneerShabica, Stephen V. 15 July 1974 (has links)
The reproductive biology of Kidderia (Kidderia) subquadratum
(Pelseneer, 1903) was studied from collections which were made at
Palmer Station, Antarctica during 1970 and 1971. Kidderia subquadratum
is a small lamellibranch (the largest observed was 6.8
mm long) found on rocky substrates in the intertidal and subtidal
zones of the Antarctic Peninsula. The sexes are separate and the
females comprised 54.1% of the population studied. The differential
in the sex ratio is neither size nor age related. The females are
ovoviviparous and retain their embryos in brood pouches of the demibranchs.
The brood pouch is a modification of the form and function
of the ancestral, molluscan ctenidia and allows the retention of
embryos by the female.
The eggs are large and rich in yolk. Embryogenesis is without
traces of the typical marine, molluscan larvae, the trochophore
and the veliger. Development of the embryo follows the normal
indirect, marine lamellibranch pattern until gastrulation. This
includes unequal cleavage, formation of a stereoblastula with a
reduced blastocoel, and gastrulation by epiboly with slight invagination.
Following gastrulation development is considerably modified
and follows the normal freshwater lamellibranch pattern of
direct development. This is partially attributed to the large amounts
of yolk that the egg contains, to the absence of the free living
trochophore and veliger larvae, and to the incidence of brood protection.
No structures analogous to the trochophore and veliger
larvae occur.
The reproductive system is described and includes the male
and female systems, and the ctenidial and siphonal systems. The
female gonad is unusual in that unilaminar ovarian follicles are
present. The follicles consist of simple squamous follicle epithelia
and either developing oögonia or oöcytes.
Oögenesis takes 15 to 19 months. Egg formation consists of
the rounding-off of a single germ cell which includes a nucleolus,
nucleus, and cytoplasm complex. This complex, called an oögonium,
grows out from the germinal epithelium into the lumen of the ovocyst.
The solitary egg formation of K. subquadratum is modified
and includes a unilaminar follicle epithelium which surrounds the
growing oögonium. The follicle epithelium does not appear to
serve any nutritional role in egg growth. Oögonia are sloughed-off
during the year and lost from the population. There is no consistent
seasonal variation in the numbers of oögonia observed in the ovaries.
Primary oöcytes are present in females of the population from
December until July. Individual females spawn continuously for
a minimum of five months. Spermiogenesis and spawning in the
male precedes the development of primary oöcytes by one month.
Males spawn only once or at discrete periods with periodic build-ups
of spermatozoa. Spermatozoa are shed directly into the water.
Fertilization takes place in the brood pouches, epibranchial chambers,
or oviducts, or all three areas, of the adult female after the eggs
are released from the ovary. Spermatozoa are drawn through the
inhalant siphon of the female, into the mantle cavity. Entrance to
the brood pouches is afforded by the gill ostia, openings between the
gill filaments. The eggs may be fertilized as primary oöcytes during
the germinal vesicle stage of maturation, or after the breakdown
of the germinal vesicle, or during both stages. The follicular
epithelium, which is persistent throughout development, may bind
the embryos together and thus prevent their premature loss from
the brood pouches.
The brood size is dependent on the size of the female. The
larger females contain the greater numbers of embryos. From one
to 250 embryos were observed in individual females during the study.
The brood potential, per female of the population, is 96 ± 63 individuals.
There is almost a 90% loss of the initial brood potential during
development. Development of the embryo can take place, at least
for short periods, outside the maternal organism.
The period of development of the embryos is five months.
The juveniles have a mean size of 0.503 mm at liberation which
occurs during the austral winter and spring. The byssus system of
the embryo is active at liberation thus allowing immediate attachment
to a substrate. The gill at liberation is a simple, paired
structure consisting of the descending lamellae of the inner demibranchs.
Sexual differentiation of the juvenile gonad occurs within
approximately four months of liberation at a mean size of 0.916 mm.
Gametogenesis begins in the females prior to a length of 1.333 mm
or approximately at an age of nine months. Sexual maturity in the
juveniles occurs between 2.00 and 2.66 mm and represents an age
of approximately 18 to 22 months. There is no upper size or age
limit of fertility in the males or females of the population. Active
feeding in the juveniles begins two months after release from the
maternal organism. The major food of K. subquadratum, a filter
feeding bivalve, consists of diatoms, algal fragments, dinoflagellates,
and organic detritus.
The winter and spring periods of liberation are attributed to
the synchronizing effect of the spring phytoplankton blooms which are
light limited. Light is considered to be the primary controlling
factor on reproduction of Kidderia subquadratum.
Direct development is thought to have arisen in the Kidderia
subquadratum population as a result of the loss of the trochophore
and veliger larval stages of development which was brought about
by the evolution of maternal brood protection in the population.
Direct development is probably maintained in the population by the
combined pressures of yolk-rich eggs, ovoviviparity, a five month
period of development of the embryos, and a winter-spring liberation
of the juveniles. / Graduation date: 1975

The effect of salinity, temperature, season and intertidal height on calcium uptake by Mytilus edulis (Linnaeus)Robinson, Donald C. E. January 1982 (has links)
This study has shown that season, salinity, temperature and intertidal height all affect the rate up calcium uptake by mussels. For summer-adapted mussels, calcium uptake was found to be temperature dependent over the range of acute temperatures measured (1°-23°C). When subjected to a range of salinities over a three week period, summer-adapted mussels showed calcium-uptake rates which were salinity dependent from 25%-75% SW, and which did not show any increase in uptake rate in salinities greater than 75% SW. For winter-adapted mussels, calcium uptake was temperature independent over a temperature range from 5°-l7°C. At higher and lower temperatures, uptake was reduced. When subjected to a range of salinities over a three-week period, winter-adapted mussels were also unable to compensate for the lower concentration of calcium in the seawater, and did not show any increase in the uptake rate in salinities greater than 75% SW.
It was found that high and low intertidal mussels had different calcium uptake rates, and that transplantation could alter the uptake rate of transplanted mussels to the uptake rate of untransplanted controls. In the intertidal zone a gradient of shell size was found, which could be associated with the change in uptake range over the intertidal range. Differences in immersion time between the two. sites could not explain all of the differences in uptake rate, but high intertidal mussels were found to have less total dry weight of soft parts than low mussels, and correcting for this difference accounted for the
the remainder of the difference in calcium-uptake rate between
the two sites.
The soft parts of the mussel were found to become saturated with ⁴⁵Ca after four hours, while the shell accumulated calcium for the duration of the experiment. The mantle and gill tissue held the same amount of calcium when corrected for differences in weight, while the viscera held a greater pool of calcium. Accounting for real increases in the amount of calcium accumulated by the shell showed that the uptake rates reported in this study are about 59% of the absolute uptake rates. / Science, Faculty of / Zoology, Department of / Graduate

Previous issue date: 2003 / No estuário do Rio Formoso que está localizado no Estado de Pernambuco (8o39´45´´
latitude sul e 35o09´15´´ longitude oeste), foram feitas coletas no período de janeiro de
1999 a dezembro de 2000, em quatro estações fixas durante as baixa-mares ao longo
do manguezal, visando avaliar a distribuição dos bivalves endofaunais e correlacionar
com alguns parâmetros abióticos (temperatura ambiental, salinidade da água intersticial
e granulometria de sedimento). Os dados climatológicos foram cedidos pelo Instituto de
Meteorologia (INMET). Amostras de água intersticial do manguezal e sedimento foram
coletadas em cada estação e levadas ao Laboratório de Química da Empresa
Pernambucana Agropecuária, para a análise. Paralelamente, em cada estação foram
coletadas amostras de sedimento, utilizando-se um delimitador de alumínio com 50 cm
de lado, lavadas em água no próprio local de coleta e passadas por peneiras de 2,0 a
1,0 mm de abertura de malha com intuito de separar representantes de moluscos da
endofauna. Posteriormente os moluscos foram triados e levados ao laboratório da
Universidade Católica de Pernambuco para a identificação taxonômica. Foram
levantados dados sócio-econômicos aplicando-se questionários de entrevista com a
comunidade pesqueira para traçar perfil dos pescadores da região. A temperatura
ambiental mensal variou entre 25,7 o C, no mês de fevereiro a 23 o C, no mês de
agosto/1999. No ano 2000 a temperatura variou de 24 o C nos meses de julho e agosto
a 26,5 o C em janeiro, fevereiro e dezembro A precipitação pluviométrica no ano de
1999 variou de 5,0 mm, nos meses de fevereiro e novembro a 310mm, no mês de
maio. No ano de 2000 a precipitação variou de 640 mm, no mês de julho a 9 mm, no
mês de novembro. Os valores de salinidade da água intersticial, no ano de 1999,
variaram de 2,0 , no mês de janeiro a 30,0 , nos mês de outubro; no ano de 2000,
variou de 2,3 , no mês de julho a 27,5 , no mês de novembro. Os valores de
temperatura da água intersticial, no ano de 1999, variaram de 24 oC, no mês de maio a
35oC, no mês de novembro; no ano de 2000, variou de 22oC, no mês de maio a 29oC,
no mês de dezembro.Através das análises de variações granulométricas do sedimento,
constatou-se que, houve predominância da fração areia grossa em todas as estações
estudadas, embora em algumas estações, tenha havido um aumento nos teores de
silte, indicando uma oscilação na classe textual de arenoso para siltoso. As espécies da
endomalacofauna bivalvia que apresentaram maior abundância foram Tagelus plebeius,
Mytella falcata, Lucina pectinata, nas estações estudadas no ano de 1999; enquanto que no ano 2000 sobressaiu nesse sentido, a espécie Lucina pectinata. Espécie de
maior freqüência no ano de 1999 foi Tagelus plebeius e no ano de 2000, a Lucina
pectinata. As densidades (Ind./10m2) dos moluscos bivalvia da endofauna no
manguezal do rio Formoso, variaram de 3.420 Ind./10m2,no mês de maio a 9.500
Ind./10m2,no mês de novembro para o ano de 1999 e, no ano 2000, variaram de 4.370
Ind./10m2, no mês de julho a 10.350 Ind./10m2, no mês de novembro. A comunidade
pesqueira vive da pesca artesanal rudimentar, em função de suas condições sócioeconômicas,
cuja renda familiar é menor que um salário mínimo. O manguezal de rio
Formoso vem passando por intensa ação antrópica, devido a uma sucessão de fatores
impactantes (desmatamento,aterros,lixo,esgoto doméstico,industrial e hospitalar),o que
poderá ser causa de redução, no futuro, de moluscos da endofauna

Population genetics of the genus Transennella (Bivalvia)Rotz, William Gregory 01 January 1979 (has links)
Genetic variation at twelve loci which code for enzymes and non-enzymatic protein has been studied by means of starch gel electrophoresis in two apparent species of the pelecypod genus Transennella, Variable allozymes include esterase, leucine aminopeptidase, malate dehydrogenase, phosphoglucose isomerase, tetrazolium oxidase, and nonenzymatic protein, Observed allele frequencies for these systems are in close agreement with Hardy-Weinberg expectations indicating that these protandric hermaphrodites are outbreeding. The genus is characterized by two distinct morphotypes which differ in shell shape and pigmentation. Genetic similarity (I) and genetic distance (D) statistics were computed for the two morphotypes and for two populations of each morphotype. The I and D values derived from intraspecific comparisons of Transennella tantilla populations are 0.99 and 0,004; for Transennella sp., the I value is also 0.99 and D is 0,002. The I and D values obtained from interspecific comparisons (T. tantilla versus T, sp.) are 0,521 and 0,650 respectively. An extensive survey of the phosphoglucose isomerase system was conducted to evaluate microgeographic variation and age-dependent frequency selection at this locus. Differences in allele frequencies were found to be non-significant, suggesting that this locus is without selective import, or that selection for a particular genotype is too slight to be detected with the sample sizes employed, The amount of genetic divergence found between the morphotypes is comparable to interspecific estimates made for a variety of invertebrate species. The results indicate that the morphological divergence apparent in the two morphotypes has been accompanied by substantial genetic differentiation.

The thermal tolerance of the bivalves Septifer virgatus and Perna viridis, and implications for marine coastal managementYu, Tai-nga, 俞大雅 January 2014 (has links)
As global climate change accelerates, there is increasing concern about how ecosystems may change as a result of biodiversity loss and species replacement. Marine bivalves are important as commercial food resources, ecosystem-engineers and invasive or fouling species. Understanding how beneficial and harmful bivalve species may respond to the changing environment will be important for marine coastal management. Given the expected speed of climate change, it is unlikely that species will have time to evolve adaptively in time, instead, they will have to tolerate environmental stressors or acclimate and vary their life history traits.
Studies were conducted to compare the interspecific differences in thermal tolerance between the non-invasive bivalve Septifer virgatus and the invasive Perna viridis, to see if differential tolerance can explain the invasion success of bioinvaders. The intraspecific thermal tolerance of the invasive P. viridis was also assessed to determine how thermal tolerance may differ among populations. In the second stage of the study, by acclimating both S. virgatus and P. viridis at different temperatures, the interspecific differences in thermal acclimation capacity was tested to assess their susceptibility to climate change. As the two species are ecologically and economically important, understanding how they will respond to climate change is important to help manage fisheries and coastal resources.
Results showed that S. virgatus had a higher thermal tolerance than P. viridis in the cold and dry season in Hong Kong, but after acclimation at 27°C, which is the average sea surface temperature in the hot and wet season in Hong Kong, P. viridis had significantly increased its thermal tolerance and was more tolerant than S. virgatus acclimated at the same temperature, showing this species has a high capacity for acclimation. In comparison, S. virgatus showed limited acclimation capacity. The results suggest that to conclusively determine the full potential of a species' thermal tolerance, tests have to be conducted in different seasons to take into account phenotypic plasticity. The broad thermal tolerance range and the highly flexible physiology of P. viridis may represent the hallmark of a successful invasive species, and may provide a model for success in a changing world. As invasive species are generally more stress tolerant and plastic, it is expected that global climate change will facilitate bioinvasion, and efforts to manage this will need to take into account the physiological capacities of these species. / published_or_final_version / Environmental Management / Master / Master of Science in Environmental Management
