PINNA NOBILIS


PINNA NOBILIS

Recently, Pinna nobilis pen shells population in Mediterranean Sea has plummeted due to a Mass Mortality Event caused by an haplosporidian parasite. In consequence, this bivalve species has been included in the IUCN Red List as "Critically Endangered". In the current scenario, several works are in progress to protect P. nobilis from extinction, being identification of hybrids (P. nobilis x.


Pinna nobilis

Pinna nobilis, whose common name is the noble pen shell or fan mussel, is a large species of Mediterranean clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Pinnidae, the pen shells. It reaches up to 120 cm (4 ft) of shell length. It produces a rare manganese-containing porphyrin protein known as pinnaglobin.

From May to October 2019, multiple mass mortality events (MMEs) of Pinna nobilis were observed along Croatian coastline starting from the south-east and rapidly progressing in north-western direction. Time dynamics of the MMEs closely followed general speed and direction patterns of surface sea-currents, advancing approximately 350 km in less than 3 months. Surveillance, clinical evaluation.

The fan mussel, Pinna nobilis, represents the largest bivalve endemic to the Mediterranean Sea.Since 2016, dramatic mass mortality of this species has been observed in several areas. The first surveys suggested that Haplosporidium pinnae (currently considered species-specific) was the main etiological agent, but recent studies have indicated that a multifactorial disease may be responsible for.

Introduction. The pen shell, Pinna nobilis Linnaeus, 1758, is one of the most imposing endemic bivalves in the Mediterranean (MacDonald and Barrett, 2008). It reaches up to 120 cm in size (García-March et al., 2007) with a suggested age of up to 45 years (Rouanet et al., 2015) and can be found in coastal areas at depths of 0.5 - 60 m (Templado et al., 2004).

Live P. nobilis individuals are found in an infected zone of H. pinnae. In the bay of Peyrefite, the population of P. nobilis was estimated at around 630 individuals (Fig. 1 a,b), before the beginning of the mass mortality event that occurred in 2018 21.After summer 2018, only four live individuals remained. Considering that individuals were close to each other during the infection by H.

The case. The fan mussel Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758), an endemic and protected bivalve of the Mediterranean Sea, is affected by a Mass Mortality Event (MME) provoked by the parasitic protozoan Haplosporidium pinnae started in 2016 in Spanish waters. The populations of Pinna nobilis in the open sea have almost completely disappeared from the Mediterranean coasts, with a mortality rate close.
