For years the mechanism of action of mussel extract has been explained as due to the presence of glycosaminolgycans (GAG). In this study our aim was to determine the content and type of GAG in mussel extract using the revised more specific DMMB method. Relevant amount of classical GAG could not be detected either in pure mussel extract or in feed supplements containing mussel extract. On the basis of the results of our study and a comprehensive literature search we reach the conclusion that the effects induced by mussel extract can not be mediated by GAG.

To examine survival and growth of freshwater pearl mussel(Hyriopsis cumingii)suspended at different water depth(10 cm,40 cm and 80 cm under water surface),a 162-day field experiment was carried out in a commercial pond in Zhuji.Results of the experiment indicated survival rate was not significantly different among the pearl mussel suspended at different water depth,however,shell length,shell width and total weight of the pearl mussel suspended at 40 cm increased faster than that of the pearl mussel suspended at 10 cm and 80 cm.The pearl mussel suspended at 10 cm had the least growth rate in shell and total weight.

In the present study it was shown in rats that zinc is absorbed from excisional wounds treated with zinc sulphate. Systemic toxic effects were observed in the group treated with 20% zinc sulphate. Local toxic effects were seen in wounds treated with 0.2%, 2% and 20% zinc sulphate. An inhibitory effect of zinc on the migration of granulocytes was suggested on the basis of microscopic observation. In the operated groups which were not treated with zinc and the group treated with 0.02% zinc sulphate a decline was observed in the concentration of zinc in serum. The zinc concentration in serum increased in proportion to the zinc sulphate concentration (0.2%, 2% and 20%) applied to the wounds, while the copper concentration decreased in the groups treated with 2% and 20% zinc sulphate. In all operated groups an increase in zinc and copper concentrations was observed in liver. This was most pronounced in groups treated with higher concentrations of zinc sulphate (0.2%, 2% and 20%). The groups treated with higher concentrations of zinc sulphate also had higher pancreas zinc concentrations than the remaining groups.

A mussel's shell records its history of growth. We investigated variability in the size and shape of mussel shells of Mytilus californianus Conrad (1837) to test the hypothesis that the mussel shell provides information on the contemporary condition of the mussel. Two factors were associated with shape: an epithelial discoloration and the Sr/Ca in the shell nacre. Sr/Ca data distinguished the mussel populations as did a discriminate analysis that included the trace metal ratios; Sr/Ca, Mg/Ca, Mn/Ca, Ag/Ca, Cd/Ca, Ba/Ca, and Pb/Ca. Size varied independently of shape and was not associated with the two factors. However, a null model that describes the morphological variability in height and width suggests that mussel size also plays a central role in partitioning phenotypic variability. These analyses of contemporary factors coupled with analyses of morphological variability holds promise for addressing the functional roles of mussel height and width and what proportion of phenotypic variability can be attributed to environmental factors.

Abstract A CONSIDERABLE number of recent investigations have concerned the zinc requirement of chickens and turkeys. This work was stimulated by the results of studies conducted by O’Dell and Savage (1957) and Supplee et al. (1958). Compounds which have been used as zinc sources in the various investigations include zinc carbonate, zinc chloride, zinc oxide, zinc sulfate and certain zinc proteinates. A few comparisons have been made, but only one detailed study has been conducted to determine the biological availability of zinc from various sources to chicks and poults. Roberson and Schaible (1958) reported that the zinc in zinc sulfate and zinc chloride was equally available to starting chicks. One-hundred parts per million (ppm.) of zinc from each compound was added to a zinc-deficient, purified diet. This level of supplementary zinc, however, was more than three times the amount required by chicks. No definite conclusions regarding availability can be drawn from …

[Extract] The Greenshelf (TM) mussel (Perna canaliculus), is the dominant aquaculture species in New Zealand, accounting for ~60 percent of domestic aquaculture production. The technique used to farm Greenshell mussels in New Zealand is the Japanese longline technique where a continuous rope dropper is hung from double backbone ropes supported by surface buoys (Figure 1). Currently, 4,500 ha of coastal area is occupied by mussel farming activities in New Zealand and with increasing expansion, this may exceed 20,000 ha by 2025.
The GreensheIl (TM) mussel, like many other bivalves, is a suspension feeder, consuming phytoplankton and other particulate matter that it filters from the water column. A single mussel is capable of filtering up to 300 L per day. Because mussels are highly efficient at removing particles from the water, they, in turn, produce a large amount of fecal waste. For
example, the average mussel farm is stocked with mussels at around 150/m2 of seafloor and each mussel produces about 230 mg of waste each day, which translates to 35 g/m2 of mussel waste per day. The enormity of this waste production becomes evident if the amount generated is calculated over a year: 125 t/ha/yr of mussel feces.
