摘要

Abstract

The large water-pumping and particle-capturing gills of the filter-feeding blue mussel

Mytilus edulis

are oversized for respiratory purposes. Consequently

the oxygen uptake rate of the mussel has been suggested to be rather insensitive to decreasing oxygen concentrations in the ambient water

since the diffusion rate of oxygen from water flowing through the mussel determines oxygen uptake. We tested this hypothesis by measuring the oxygen uptake in mussels exposed to various oxygen concentrations. These concentrations were established via N

-bubbling of the water in a respiration chamber with mussels fed algal cells to stimulate fully opening of the valves. It was found that mussels exposed to oxygen concentrations decreasing from 9 to 2 mg O

/L resulted in a slow but significant reduction in the respiration rate

while the filtration rate remained high and constant. Thus

a decrease of oxygen concentration by 78% only resulted in a 25% decrease in respiration rate. However

at oxygen concentrations below 2 mg O

M. edulis

responded by gradually closing its valves

resulting in a rapid decrease of filtration rate

concurrent with a rapid reduction of respiration rate. These observations indicated that

M. edulis

is no longer able to maintain its normal aerobic metabolism at oxygen concentration below 2 mg O

and there seems to be an energy-saving mechanism in bivalve molluscs to strongly reduce their activity when exposed to low oxygen conditions.
