The use of online remote control for 24/7 behavioural monitoring can play a key role in estimating the environmental status of aquatic ecosystems. Recording the valve activity of bivalve molluscs is a relevant approach in this context. However, a clear understanding of the underlying disturbances associated with behaviour is a key step.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAquatic ecosystems are subject to many anthropogenic disturbances, and understanding their possible impacts is a real challenge. Developing approaches based on the behaviour of bivalve mollusks, an integrating marker of the state of the organisms, and therefore of their environment, is relevant, whether within a natural ecosystem or an ecosystem subject to industrial activities. The main objective of this study was to identify by HFNI Valvometry a reliable and reproducible clam behavioural response in the presence of crude oil in a multistress context.

- Shipping has significantly risen, causing oysters to be affected by both noise pollution and metal contamination simultaneously.
- A study was conducted on four oyster groups over 14 days, comparing those exposed to cadmium alone with those exposed to cadmium alongside cargo ship noise.
- The presence of ship noise reduced cadmium accumulation and growth in the oysters, indicating that while noise can limit metal uptake, it might also hinder their food intake and impact overall ecosystem productivity.
