Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the immunocompetence of blue mussels under varying temperatures (5, 10, and 20°C) to understand how climate change may impact these filter-feeding bivalves.
- Key immune parameters, such as cell viability and phagocytosis, were assessed, showing that mussels maintained better immune functions at lower temperatures, especially when exposed to cadmium.
- Despite rising temperatures and reduced digestive gland weight, blue mussels did not show overall health decline, indicating their resilience and ability to maintain gonad maturation and spawning processes.
