Book Synopsis The Mussel Mytilus by : Elizabeth Gosling
Download or read book The Mussel Mytilus written by Elizabeth Gosling. This book was released on 1992. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hardbound. Mussels, of the genus Mytilus are among the commonest of marine molluscs and constitute an important element in the ecology of coastal waters. The mussel's sessile habit makes it suited to cultivation and as filter-feeder an effective concentrator of trace toxic substances. They are thus excellent biomonitoring organisms of coastal water quality. The mussel has been extensively used in experimental studies and a vast body of data on its use in fundamental physiological, biochemical, genetic and toxicological investigations is available. More recently this knowledge has extended into the newer fields of nutrition, environmental monitoring, toxicology, disease, population genetics and biotechnology. This book presents a thorough compilation of state-of-the-art information on mussels in the form of critical review papers written by leading authorities in the field. For workers involved in both research and practical aspects of the biology

Book Synopsis Reproductive Biology of Green Mussel Perna Viridis (Linnaeus 1758) by : Said Mohamed Al Barwani
Download or read book Reproductive Biology of Green Mussel Perna Viridis (Linnaeus 1758) written by Said Mohamed Al Barwani. This book was released on 2011-09. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the result of four years Ph.D. research on the green mussel Perna viridis (Linnaeus 1758) from the high spat-fall coastal waters of Malacca, Peninsular Malaysia. Marine mussels form one of the most dominant cultivable species all over the world. They provide the highest conversion of primary producers (phytoplankton) to human food as a low-priced source of animal protein. Perna viridis occurs widely in shallow waters along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia allowing mussel seeds to be readily available for culture practice. Most of the previous studies tackling the collection of wild mussel seeds for aquaculture have concluded their findings based on few culture experiments, plankton and spat collection only. The finding of this book provides information on accurate determination of the dynamics of the gonadal development through histology, condition index, dynamics of the spat fall densities, population dynamics and growth rates of Perna viridis in the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The book is aimed as a technical reference for decision makers, fisheries resource managers, researches, professional and students.

Book Synopsis Marine Mussels by : Elizabeth Gosling
Download or read book Marine Mussels written by Elizabeth Gosling. This book was released on 2021-12-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive volume providing broad and detailed coverage of marine mussels Marine Mussels: Ecology, Physiology, Genetics and Culture provides readers with in-depth, fully up-to-date information on all major aspects of marine mussels. Written by an internationally renowned expert in the field, this authoritative volume addresses morphology, ecology, feeding, phylogeny and evolution, reproduction and larval development, settlement and recruitment, genetics, disease, management of culture systems and more. The book encompasses many different species of marine mussels: genus Mytilus, other important commercial marine genera such as Perna, Aulacomya and Choromytilus, and non-commercial genera including Modiolus, Geukensia, Brachidontes and hydrothermal vent Bathymodiolus. Comprising twelve extensively cross-referenced chapters, the book discusses a diversity of integrated topics that range from fundamental physiology of marine mussels to new techniques being applied in their biology and ecology. Author Elizabeth Gosling reviews contemporary developments and issues in the field such as the use of DNA genetic markers in detecting and diagnosing different strains of pathogenic bacteria, the use of mussels as monitors of marine contaminants, sophisticated modelling techniques that simulate disease and forecast outbreaks, and the impacts of global warming, ocean acidification and hypoxia on marine mussels. Presenting an inclusive, highly detailed treatment of mussel biology, physiology, genetics, and culture, this invaluable resource: Contains thorough descriptions of external and internal anatomy, global and local distribution patterns, the impacts of mussels on marine ecosystems, and the processes of circulation, respiration, excretion and osmoregulation Reflects significant advances in mussel science and new areas of research in marine mussels Describes the fundamentals of mussel aquaculture, the types and levels of contaminants in the marine environment and new approaches for sustainable aquaculture development Discusses the application of genetic methods, population genetics, global breeding programmes and the emerging area of bivalve genomics Addresses the role of mussels in disease transmission to humans, including production and processing controls, regulation of monitoring and quality control Marine Mussels: Ecology, Physiology, Genetics and Culture is essential reading for biological scientists, researchers, instructors and advanced students in the fields of biology, ecology, aquaculture, environmental science, toxicology, genetics, pathology, taxonomy and public health.
