โœฆ Synopsis

The effects of various factors on byssal thread formation have been examined in the laboratory using JYlodiolus demissus and Mytilus edulis. With M. demissus thread formation (threads/mussel/h) and proportion of mussels forming threads decreased with increasing size; prior exposure to air enhanced subsequent thread formation; mechanical agitation reduced thread formation. In addition, low salinity acclimated mussels adapted more rapidly to 32 ppt than high salinity acclimated mussels did to t6 ppt; threads were not formed in the absence of calcium and/or magnesium; and there was no reduction in thread formation at temperatures as high as 27 ~ to 28 ~ M. edulis died and thread formation approached zero at temperatures exceeding 26 ~
