Mussel is the common name used for members of several families of
bivalvia mollusca, from saltwater and freshwater habitats. Mussels
are economically and ecologically important as they play a key role
in aquatic environments and are considered to be "ecosystem
engineers." In this book, the authors discuss the ecology, life
habits and control of mussels. Topics include native and invasive
mussels; paralytic shellfish toxins and lipophilic toxins and their
interaction with the habitat of mussels in the South Pacific Ocean;
mussels as a tool to monitor pollution; bioenergetic model
predictions of actual growth and allometric transitions during
ontogeny of juvenile blue mussels; the synthesis of vitellogenin in
the mussel mytilus galloprovincialis; the Brachidontes solisiannus
mussel and its re-colonisation dynamics on a sandstone reef at
Pernambuco, Brazil; and mussel farms in the Gulf of Naples.
