鹰嘴壳菜蛤

(重定向自鹰嘴壳菜蛤属

鹰嘴壳菜蛤属(学名:Ischadium)是贻贝科下的单型属,属下只有鹰嘴壳菜蛤Ischadium recurvum)一种。[1]鹰嘴壳菜蛤分布于北美洲大西洋沿岸,从鳕鱼角延伸至西印度群岛[1]鹰嘴壳菜蛤通常生长在美洲牡蛎(学名:Crassostrea virginica)的壳上。鹰嘴壳菜蛤栖息在潮下带,或在裸露的牡蛎可在冬季存活的、切萨皮克湾以南的潮间带[2]它们也会附着在其他坚硬的基底上,如人工鱼礁[3]或死亡的半咸水蛤蜊河口马珂蛤英语Rangia cuneata(学名:Rangia cuneata)的壳上。[4]

捕食

编辑

鹰嘴壳菜蛤主要通过气味发现捕食者,其中包括捕食者自身的气味及周围死亡贝类的气味。鹰嘴壳菜蛤的天敌之一为蓝蟹(学名:Callinectes sapidus)。鹰嘴壳菜蛤是富含营养物质的优质猎物。相较于其他贻贝如侧肌蛤英语Musculus lateralis(学名:Musculus lateralis,尚无权威译名),鹰嘴壳菜蛤在季节变化中能始终保持丰富的粗蛋白质、脂质和微量元素,以及较高的总能量。此外,鹰嘴壳菜蛤还含有更多的镁、铁、锌、铜和锰。[5]

避免被捕食的策略

编辑

鹰嘴壳菜蛤通过构建更坚硬的壳来保护自己。壳的强度随着贻贝长度的增加而增强。[6]结群的贻贝比单个个体更容易存活,因为在群体中,捕食者更难触及它们,也更难从群体中分离它们。贻贝利用足丝英语Byssus来抵御捕食者。足丝是能将它们固着于其他基底上的纤维束。足丝越多,贻贝越难被移除。较大的贻贝能分泌出更多足丝,而较小的贻贝虽然将更多能量用于生成足丝,但由于体型和表面积较小,往往成为蓝蟹等捕食者的目标。[7]

栖息地

编辑

鹰嘴壳菜蛤生长在美洲牡蛎礁上,这些牡蛎礁分布于墨西哥湾沿岸,特别是河口附近。[7]鹰嘴壳菜蛤偏好在低盐度环境中觅食。随着盐度增加,滤水率,有机物摄食率和同化率都会降低。高盐度环境会对这种双壳类动物造成压力,影响其进食效率。[8]鹰嘴壳菜蛤的存活与牡蛎床密切相关。在切萨皮克湾等地,疾病和过度捕捞导致牡蛎数量下降,从而导致鹰嘴壳菜蛤的数量减少。尽管鹰嘴壳菜蛤可以附着在其他坚硬基底上,但牡蛎数量的减少也会导致沉积物比率增加,从而减少鹰嘴壳菜蛤的可用基底。[9]这使鹰嘴壳菜蛤的数量极易受牡蛎数量的影响。
