Blue Mussels are semi-sessile, having the ability to detach and reattach to a surface allowing the mollusk to reposition itself relative to the water position. The taxa can hybridise with each other, if present at the same locality. Blue mussels are subject to commercial use and intensive aquaculture. Byssal thread are secreted by byssal glands located in the foot of the mussel, and are made up of polyphenolic proteins are proteins which serve as a bioadhesive. Mytilus edulis planulatus.

Mussels, Mytilus edulis planulatus, were collected from Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia, in February 1984, to test the assumption that they are “integrators” of cadmium pollution.

Blue mussels were also harvested by the indigenous peoples of North America. Meeresunters. See text. Several explanations for aggregate formation have been offered, such as increase of reproductive success in low density populations,[12] resisting of wave action,[9] and defence against predators. Meth. Taxon Name. Lamarck, 1819. Collectively they occupy both coasts of the North Atlantic (including the Mediterranean) and of the North Pacific in temperate to polar waters, as well as coasts of similar nature in the Southern Hemisphere. Mussels, Mytilus edulis planulatus, were collected from Port Phillip Bay, Victoria, Australia, in February 1984, to test the assumption that they are “integrators” of cadmium pollution. Biol.

[8], Once the pediveliger is fully developed, its foot extends and makes contact with substrate. Characterized by a functional mouth and alimentary canal the veliger stage also has cilia which are used for filtering food as well as propulsion. Mar. Specimen Nature. Contam.

SHUMWAY2 Department of Ecology and Evolution State University of New York Stony Brook, New York 11794-5000 ABSTRACT: Filtration rates and oxygen consumption rates were measured in mussels (Mytilus edulis) with and without pea crabs (Pinnotheres maculatus). Collectively they occupy both coasts of the North Atlantic (including the Mediterranean) and of the North Pacific in temperate to polar waters,[2] as well as coasts of similar nature in the Southern Hemisphere. Ass. De soort wordt ook wel eetbare mossel genoemd. Bull. Blue mussels are boreo-temperate invertebrates that live in intertidal areas attached to rocks and other hard substrates by strong (and somewhat elastic) thread-like structures called byssal threads, secreted by byssal glands located in the foot of the mussel. 33, 68–78 (1980), Schulz-Baldes, M.: Lead uptake from sea water and food, and lead loss in the common mussel Mytilus edulis.

Geographic Range. * Mytilus crassitesta (FAO, 1996) is a synonym of Mytilus coruscus (Poutiers, 1993a). A thin translucent shell is secreted by the shell gland forming the notable straight hinge of the prodissoconch I shell. Mussel beds are persistent, dense mussel populations. Z. Mason: Cellular responses of molluscs to environmental metals. B. Lamarck, 1819 - Blue mussel subspecies Mytilus edulis retusus J. Mytilus edulis. Linnaeus, 1758.

In France and in the British Isles, it makes hybrid zones with M. galloprovincialis, and also is sometimes intermixed with M. trossulus. [15], Blue mussels are filter feeders and play a vital role in estuaries by removing bacteria and toxins. In the end stage of veliger development photosensitive eye spots and elongated foot with a byssal gland are formed. Commercial designations; Production methods and fishing gears; EU quality schemes and nutrition values; Species distribution and habitat; Species description; Combined Nomenclature; Commercial designations. Mytilus edulis is commonly harvested for food throughout the world, from both wild and farmed sources. (Non confundir con Perna canaliculus, o mexillón de Nova Zelandia ou mexillón de labios verdes). Helgoländer wiss. Once it metamorphoses the mussel is still restricted by predation, with smaller mussels with thinner, weaker shells most affected. Genetic studies based on nuclear markers have suggested that the Chilean mussel has features of both the Mediterranean mussel (Mytilus galloprovincialis) and the North Atlantic Mytilus edulis. A species with a large range, empty shells are commonly found on beaches around the world. 9, 128–132 (1978), Davies, I. M. and J. M.
