- W1987274013 abstract "Among the three taxa of smooth-shelled blue mussels, it is widely believed that Mytilus trossulus is the best adapted to conditions of low and/or fluctuating salinity. We examined the affect of two contrasting environmental regimes on aspects of the biology of M. edulis, M. trossulus and their hybrids from Newfoundland, Atlantic Canada. We employed two experimental treatments, “coastal” (natural, unfiltered coastal seawater pumped directly into the laboratory) and “estuarine” (natural, unfiltered freshwater from a nearby pond added to ambient sea water), and for both treatments we measured temperature, salinity, total particulate matter (TPM mg l−1), and particulate organic matter (POM mg l−1). We compared the mortality rate, energy acquisition, biochemical composition and specific growth rate (SGR) of M. edulis, M. trossulus and their hybrids under both sets of experimental conditions. Under coastal conditions, mussels from two sites (Bellevue, an open coast, non-estuarine site: Traytown, an estuarine site) exhibited mortality rates which were so low that they precluded meaningful statistical comparison. Under estuarine conditions, mortality occurred among M. trossulus mussels from both sites before it occurred among the M. edulis mussels. Consistent with the mortality data we also observed greater utilisation of non-protein energy reserves in M. trossulus than in M. edulis. Our data therefore do not support the hypothesis that M. trossulus is better adapted to estuarine conditions than is M. edulis. Although there was some limited evidence of taxon-specific effects for the other variables investigated (SGR, soft body C:N ratio, absolute C and N values (μg per mg dry body weight), weight standardised clearance rate (CRS), faecal production rate (mg dry weight day−1 and mg ash-free dry weight (AFDW) day−1), and absorption efficiency (AE)), these were almost completely obscured by the effects of the experimental treatment. We conclude that the lack of taxon-specific differences in physiological responses (SGR, CRS, faecal production rates, AE) indicates that the higher mortality rate of M. trossulus in the estuarine regime did not result from a reduction in energy intake. This interpretation is consistent with findings for the same taxa from northern Europe, and suggests that other factors at the cellular or biochemical levels (for example, a failure to control intracellular ionic balance) warrant attention as possible explanations for ecological differences between the two hybridising taxa. We suggest that detailed study of the micro-scale distributions of these mussels is required to examine further the influence of low salinity, and associated environmental variability, on the geographic distributions of both taxa and their hybrids in Atlantic Canada." @default.
