ABSTRACT
Environmental stressors such as salinity fluctuations can significantly impact the ecological dynamics of mussel beds. The present study evaluated the influence of hyposalinity stress on the detachment and survival of attached mussels by simulating a mussel farming model in a laboratory setting. Byssus production and mechanical properties of thread in response to varying salinity levels were assessed, and histological sections of the mussel foot were analyzed to identify the changes in the byssus secretory gland area. The results showed that hyposalinity stress (20 and 15 psu) led to a significant decrease in mussel byssus secretion, delayed initiation of new byssus production, and reduced plaque adhesion strength and breaking force of byssal threads compared to the control (30 psu) (p < 0.05). The complete suppression of byssal thread secretion in mussels under salinity conditions of 10 and 5 psu, leading to lethality, indicates the presence of a blockade in byssus secretion when mussels are subjected to significant physiological stressors. Histological analysis further demonstrated a decrease in the percentage of foot secretory gland areas in mussels exposed to low salinities. However, contrary to expectations, the study found that mussels did not exhibit marked detachment from ropes in response to the reduced salinity levels during one week of exposure. Hyposalinity stress exposure reduced the byssal secretion capacity and the mechanical properties of threads, which could be a cause for the detachment of suspension-cultured mussels. These results highlight the vulnerability of mussels to hyposalinity stress, which significantly affects their byssus mechanical performance.
