Living under threat: Will one of the last Pinna nobilis populations be able to survive?

Elisabet Nebot-Colomer et al.

Summary: The study focused on the critically endangered fan mussel in Mar Menor, Spain, and found that a drastic decline in population densities and individual sizes, along with infections from a protozoan, were attributed to meteorological factors and human activities. Urgent actions are needed to protect and restore the population in this last reservoir.

Vibrio mediterranei, a potential emerging pathogen of marine fauna: investigation of pathogenicity using a bacterial challenge inPinna nobilisand development of a species-specific PCR

K. B. Andree et al.

Summary: This study demonstrated the pathogenicity of Vibrio mediterranei in Pinna nobilis, identified virulence genes in the strain, and found that temperatures of 24 degrees C or higher trigger the onset of virulence. The specific Vm atpA PCR assay developed in this study can aid in the management of future epizootics and improve surveillance capabilities for mortality events involving Vibrios.

Modelling parasite-produced marine diseases: The case of the mass mortality event of Pinna nobilis

Alex Gimenez-Romero et al.

Summary: The state of the art in epidemic modeling for terrestrial ecosystems is based on the compartmental SIR model and its extensions, while marine ecosystem modeling lags behind. This study presents a model for disease outbreaks in bivalve populations and validates a simplified SIR model with available data, showing its practicality despite leading to uncertainty in some parameters.

Pinna nobilis in suboptimal environments are more tolerant to disease but more vulnerable to severe weather phenomena

Patricia Prado et al.

Summary: The study found that the salinity gradient in Alfacs Bay was associated with a disease outbreak in fan mussels, while the lower salinities in Fangar Bay prevented the disease. Young fan mussels were more tolerant to disease compared to large adults but became more vulnerable over time.

Population trends of the fan mussel Pinna nobilis from Portofino MPA (Ligurian Sea, Western Mediterranean Sea) before and after a mass mortality event and a catastrophic storm

F. Betti et al.

Summary: Two populations of Pinna nobilis thriving within the Portofino Marine Protected Area in the western Mediterranean Sea experienced a dire mass mortality event, likely caused by a Haplosporidium protozoan parasite and mechanical impacts from a catastrophic storm.

The last fortress fell: mass mortality of Pinna nobilis in the Sea of Marmara

Melih Ertan Cinar et al.

Summary: The mass mortality event of Pinna nobilis in the south Marmara Islands in spring 2021 may be related to an epidemic disease or catastrophic mucilage event. The population density of Pinna nobilis in the area is low, with both dead and alive individuals present, indicating limited recent recruitment.

Ibrahim Ender Kunili et al.

Summary: This study reports mass mortalities of Pinna nobilis caused by Haplosporidium pinnae, a parasite that spread rapidly and co-infected with a geographically specific marine pathogen, leading to death of the mussels.

Genetic homogeneity of the critically endangered fan mussel, Pinna nobilis, throughout lagoons of the Gulf of Lion (North-Western Mediterranean Sea)

Claire Peyran et al.

Summary: The study found that the genetic structure of the Mediterranean fan mussel population is highly consistent across various locations in the Gulf of Lion, indicating that genetic diversity is preserved, possibly due to isolated lagoons providing refuge habitats for the future of the species.

The Implication of Vibrio Bacteria in the Winter Mortalities of the Critically Endangered Pinna nobilis

Athanasios Lattos et al.

Summary: The Pinna nobilis populations are critically endangered in the Mediterranean, with potential etiological factors including parasites and bacteria. The study aims to evaluate the health status of these populations in the Aegean Sea, investigating causes of winter mortalities and bacterial susceptibility.
