This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Asian Clam Corbicula fluminea is one of the most invasive freshwater molluscs in the world. In north temperate regions, this subtropical species is typically restricted to artificially heated waterbodies. Its distribution has long been believed to be constrained by a lower temperature tolerance limit of 2°C, based on a frequently-cited study of a single southern population. However, overwintering populations have been discovered in some lakes and rivers in northeastern North America in recent years. I explored the hypothesis that cold tolerance of C. fluminea varies across its invaded range, by using a series of experiments on clams from six geographically distinct populations along a latitudinal gradient in eastern North America. These experiments revealed that C. fluminea can tolerate prolonged exposure to near freezing conditions and that survivorship differs across populations. Each population contained individuals that survived two months at ~0.5-1°C. Survivorship of individuals across all populations was significantly enhanced by prior acclimation to a low temperature (10°C) compared to a higher one (18°C). When acclimated to 10°C, clams from northern populations showed greater survivorship (55.0± 16.1%) than those from southern populations (26.7± 19.2%), but no difference was observed at 18°C. At both acclimation temperatures, larger clams had a higher survivorship than smaller clams. I hypothesize that physiological plasticity and acclimation history accounts for variation in cold tolerance across these populations. The results highlight the need for risk assessments of invasive species to incorporate physiological data from multiple populations, as predictions derived from single populations could be erroneous. However, a literature search of experimental studies on environmental tolerances of aquatic invasive animals found that only 8% of these studies compared at least two or more distinct populations of a given species. Similarly, a specific search that focused on the 20 aquatic invasive animals considered among the "world's worst" invaders found that only

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When heat exchangers for reactors were plugged by the Asiatic clam, acute gamma radiation was considered as a possible control. Clams were collected and sorted by size; during irradiation the clams were submerged in natural water. Clams of both sizes survived large doses with no radiation damage evident in 30 days. Mortality rose steeply at doses of 2.4 x 104 Rad and above; smaller clams showed a greater resistance than large ones. The feasibility of using periodic exposure to gamma radiation as a means for controlling corbicula infestations is discussed. (HLW).
