Nassarius

The negative effects of TBT have been observed in the bivalve larval development of Crassostrea gigas, Mylilus edulisf Venus gallina, Spams aurata, in Nassarius reticulate and in the hermaphroditic snails Phisa fontinalis and Adelomelon brasiliana Since TBT exerts a variety of toxic actions on some mollusks and fishes , an adverse effect of TBT on human health is a real threat. ...

Transfer of copper from wood treated with chromated copper arsenate (CCA) occurs in estuarine algae (Ulva, Enteromorpha), American oysters, mud snails (Nassarius obsoletus), and fiddler crabs (IJca spp. Weis and Weis 1992). Algae, barnacles, andmussels from CCA-treated lumber show elevated concentrations of copper when compared to reference sites. The epibiotic estuarine community that...

For the laboratory experiments the rams-horn snail M. comuarietis and the ovovivipar-ous snail Potamopyrgus antipodarum were considered as freshwater species, and two marine prosobranchs - the netted whelk Nassarius reticulatus and the dog whelk Nucella lapillus - were additionally employed. N. reticulatus, as a typical sediment-living species, was exposed via artificial sediments, while the three other prosobranchs were exposed via water. 

Fig. 7. Responses of the mud snail Nassarius obsoletus to four stimuli crushed Nassarius obsoletus, Modiolus demissus, Littorina littorea, and blank (no stimulus). Dots indicate individual snails. Each circle (radius 35 cm) shows the superimposed sum of four replicate trials. The snails were counted at —10, 0, 2, 5,10 and 20 min. Stimulus introduction was at time 0 min, in the center of the circle (from Atema and Burd, 1975).
