Methods for assessment of body tissue composition as an indication of the energetic status in bivalve populations: A comparison of biochemical and elemental analysis
(Elsevier, 2021-02)
Elemental (CHN) and proximate biochemical compositions of body tissues are useful tools among the ecological indices most commonly used in evaluation of the energetic status of animal populations. Gnaiger and Bitterlich ...
Nature more than nurture affects the growth rate of mussels
(Springer Nature, 2020-02-26)
We tested the hypothesis that environmental trophic conditions prominent during the growing period (nurture conditions) can modify the differing physiological profiles between fast (F)- and slow (S)-growing juveniles of ...
Variable Capacity for Acute and Chronic Thermal Compensation of Physiological Rates Contributes to Inter-Individual Differences in Growth Rate in Mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis)
(Frontiers Media, 2020-09)
The aim of this study was to ascertain if the capacity for acute and chronic compensation of thermal effects on physiological rates represents a trait contributing to inter-individual growth rate differences in the mussel ...
Does neutral red suit the requirements of being a reliable indicator in clearance rate measurements of suspension-feeding bivalves? An empirical refutation
(Elsevier, 2019-07-01)
One basic requirement in the measurements of feeding rates in suspension-feeding bivalves when using clearance methods is that the suspended particles that are used in the determination of these rates must reach size ...
Physiological processes modulate acute and chronic responses to dietary protein/energy ratio fluctuations in individuals and families of Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum) selected for variable growth rates
(Elsevier, 2020-01-31)
A range of phenotypes differing in growth rate were designed in the Manila clam by combining separate breeding families with size segregation within each family to constitute fast and slow growing groups. Physiological ...
Growth and Physiological Performance in Growth Phenotypes of the Carpet Shell Clam (Ruditapes decussatus) Fed Diets of Variable Lipid/Carbohydrate Ratios
(Hindawi, 2023-08-12)
Mixed suspensions of phytoplankton and yeast cells in different proportions were designed to achieve diets with a range of
variation (0.6–2.2) in the ratio of lipid to carbohydrate while maintaining protein content constant. ...
Stoichiometry of growth under variable scenarios of nutrient limitation: Differential homeostasis of body composition among growth phenotypes of the Manila clam
(Elsevier, 2024-02-07)
Fast- and slow-growing phenotypes from two separate breeding families of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum)
were alternatively fed two monoalgal diets with high and low N content (C:N ratios of 4.9 and 13.5,
res ...
Elemental C and N balances evidence stoichiometric adjustments to dietary protein content in growth phenotypes of the Manila clam (Ruditapes philippinarum)
(Elsevier, 2022-03-24)
Juveniles from two separately bred families of the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum were used to constitute
fast (F)- and slow (S)-growing groups by size segregation. The growth phenotypes that resulted from these ...
