Abstract

Anthropogenic low-frequency noise (ALFN) is a rising pollutant in the world oceans. Despite the ubiquity of ALFN, its effect on marine invertebrates is still poorly understood. Here, we tested how continuous low-frequency noise (CLFN), a substantial component of ALFN, affects the byssal thread production of Mytilus, a cosmopolitan genus of mussels with high ecological and economic importance. The effects of acute CLFN exposure and predator cues on byssogenesis by Mytilus spp. were explored in both the presence and absence of predator cues. While predator effluents increased thread production, CLFN had seemingly no effect on thread counts. Further, trends suggested a synergistic effect of CLFN and predator cues. The behavioral indifference of Mytilus spp. toward CLFN could contribute to the observed prevalence of these animals in inherently disturbed habitats. This would partly explain their success in colonizing and persisting on artificial substrata rife with disturbances.

通过贻贝：贻贝的贻贝螺纹生产不受持续噪音的影响。

人为低频噪声（ALFN）是世界海洋中日益严重的污染物。尽管 ALFN 无处不在，但人们对其对海洋无脊椎动物的影响仍然知之甚少。在这里，我们测试了连续低频噪声（CLFN）（ALFN 的重要组成部分）如何影响贻贝（一种具有高度生态和经济重要性的世界性贻贝属）的底栖螺纹生产。在有捕食者线索和没有捕食者线索的情况下，研究人员探讨了急性 CLFN 暴露和捕食者线索对贻贝副丝生成的影响。捕食者污水增加了螺纹的生成，而 CLFN 似乎对螺纹数量没有影响。此外，趋势表明 CLFN 和捕食者线索具有协同效应。贻贝对 CLFN 的行为漠视可能是这些动物在固有的受干扰生境中普遍存在的原因。这在一定程度上解释了为什么贻贝能在充满干扰的人工底层成功定殖和存活。

期刊介绍： Marine Environmental Research publishes original research papers on chemical, physical, and biological interactions in the oceans and coastal waters. The journal serves as a forum for new information on biology, chemistry, and toxicology and syntheses that advance understanding of marine environmental processes. Submission of multidisciplinary studies is encouraged. Studies that utilize experimental approaches to clarify the roles of anthropogenic and natural causes of changes in marine ecosystems are especially welcome, as are those studies that represent new developments of a theoretical or conceptual aspect of marine science. All papers published in this journal are reviewed by qualified peers prior to acceptance and publication. Examples of topics considered to be appropriate for the journal include, but are not limited to, the following: – The extent, persistence, and consequences of change and the recovery from such change in natural marine systems – The biochemical, physiological, and ecological consequences of contaminants to marine organisms and ecosystems – The biogeochemistry of naturally occurring and anthropogenic substances – Models that describe and predict the above processes – Monitoring studies, to the extent that their results provide new information on functional processes – Methodological papers describing improved quantitative techniques for the marine sciences.
