Copepoda Cyclopoida

The progress of the copepod Mytilicola intestinalis Steuer from obscurity in Mediterranean mussels, Mytilus galloprovincialis, to notoriety as the scourge of European blue mussels, M. edulis, has been well documented (e.g. Lauckner, 1983). However, a reputation as a pest in a commercially important species is not easily overturned and operators in the economic sphere must be expected to proceed with circumspection where their livelihoods are.at stake. In the UK, Parliamentary Orders still control the deposition and movements of seed shellfish in the attempt to contain the spread of the copepod.

Exposure to metals is known to generate oxidative stress in living organisms, which are able to respond with the induction of antioxidant defenses, both enzymatic and non-enzymatic. The aim of this work is to study the correlation among several non-enzymatic component of the antioxidant system, that are physiologically related to both metal sequestration and defense against metal-induced oxidative stress, using the blue mussels (Mytilus galloprovincialis) as model organism. Specimens of this marine bivalve were experimentally exposed to cadmium (Cd), used as oxidative stress risk inducer. Cd, metallothionein (MT), glutathione (GSH), malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, and glutathione reductase (GR) activity in gills and in digestive glands were assessed at 0, 12, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h. The obtained results provide new data about the relationships among the non-enzymatic antioxidant cellular components considered in this study. These constitute the prompt physiological responses to the risk of oxidative stress in blue mussels exposed to Cd in controlled laboratory conditions.
