Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how two bivalve species, Ruditapes decussatus (a filter feeder) and Loripes lacteus (a symbiotic feeder), respond to metal pollution from harbor activities in Port-Camargue, France.
- Researchers exposed the bivalves to varying levels of metal pollution and measured metal accumulation in their tissues, as well as any changes in their feeding and symbiotic characteristics.
- Results showed that Ruditapes experienced a significant drop in filtering activity under pollution, while Loripes maintained stable symbiotic metrics, indicating that a bivalve's feeding type influences its sensitivity to metal pollution.
Consumer awareness of the need to improve fish welfare is increasing. Electrostunning is a clean and potentially efficient procedure more and more used to provoke loss of consciousness prior to killing or slaughtering (reviewed by Van de Vis et al. in Aquac Res 34:211-220, 2003).
