• W2790685072 abstract "Solen cylindraceus is an infaunal filter-feeding bivalve inhabiting the intertidal mud banks of many southern African estuaries. It is particularly abundant in the Kariega estuary (33°41'S; 26°42'E) where it reaches densities of 400m⁻² (192g shell-free dry wt. m⁻²). The Kariega is a permanently open, marine dominated estuary about 18km in length, and S. cylindraceus is most abundant in its middle and upper reaches. Some physical characteristics of the estuary (temperature, salinity, sediment and water turbidity) are described, and the possible role of these factors in determining the density and distribution of S. cylindraceus within the Kariega estuary, is discussed. The structure of the alimentary system, gills and labial palps of S. cylintfraceus is described, all of which showed no major variation from the typical eulamellibranchiate form. Solen cylintfraceus was found to be a euryhaline osmoconformer with a salinity tolerance range of 15-65%. When animals were removed from their burrows, osmotic equilibration of the haemolymph was rapid (1-2 hours). By contrast, in animals left undisturbed in their burrows, osmotic equilibration was retarded (72-204 hours). It is suggested that the observed decrease in the rate of change of haemolymph osmolarity for animals in their burrows is linked to the stability of the interstitial salinity. A temperature tolerance range of 5-44°C was determined for S. cylintfraceus (in situ), in which prolonged exposure to 5°C and 40-45°C (12-36 hours respectively) resulted in a decreased burrowing ability, coma and death. Animal burrowing responses were not affected by temperatures in the range 15-35°C. Field experiments were carried out over several tidal cycles, in which the measurement of crystalline style volume was used as a means of assessing extracellular digestive activity. No major variation in style volume was recorded and it appeared that S. cylindraceus did not exhibit any cyclical pattern of style dissolution and regeneration. It is suggested that S. cylindraceus feeds continuously from the water column during high tide and possibly within its burrow, at or below the water table, during low tide. At a suspensoid concentration of 5Omg l⁻¹, S. cylindraceus was found to filter water almost continuously (90-95% of the time). Time spent filtering dropped to 68% at 100mg l⁻¹ and 32% at 500mg l⁻¹. Filtration rates for summer collected animals (25°C) were 22.86 ± 4.36ml min.⁻¹, some 3ml min.⁻¹ greater than that recorded for winter (16°C) collected animals. Filtration rate may be expressed as a function of shell length by the equations: y=0.247x¹⁰⁶⁶ (winter) and y=0.758x⁰⁸²⁶ (summer). Solen cylindraceus was capable of acclimating its filtration rate to both high and low temperatures under laboratory conditions. Filtration rate exhibited a thermal optimum in the range 15-35°C, declining at higher and lower temperatures. Q₁₀ values of filtration decreased rapidly from greater than 4 to less than 2, when the thermal optimum was reached. Maximum rates generally occurred at…" @default.
