Mortality of the Veined Rapa Whelk,Rapana venosa, in Relation to a Bloom of Alexandrium monilatum in the York River, United States
Open accessAbstract
Veined rapa whelks (Rapana venosa), carnivorous marine gastropods experienced significant mortality during an Alexandrium monilatum bloom in the lower York River, VA in September 2007. Rapa whelks stopped feeding as dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll concentrations increased with the development of the bloom. Whelk mortality was preceded by external signs of stress including reduced ventilation, inability to attach to hard substrates, periodic pumping of the opercular plate, and increased mucus production over a period of 24–48 h prior to death. High concentrations (2–7 µg g-1 tissue) of goniodimum A, a toxin produced by A. monilatum, were observed in bivalves attached to the shells of rapa whelks. Concentrations of goniodimum A in whelk foot tissue ranged from 0.02–8.39 µg g-1. Mortality of rapa whelks was 100%. Mortality of oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and northern quahogs (Mercenaria mercenaria) in the same flow through system was 0%. The symptoms displayed by the rapa whelks in the 24–48 h prior to death were indicative of paralysis and followed a similar time course documented for other molluscs exposed to toxic A. monilatum.

“The 2007 bloom in the lower York River was responsible for a veined rapa whelk (Rapana venosa) mortality event wherein whelk tissues tested positive for elevated concentrations of the hemolytic and neurotoxic toxin goniodomin A, produced by A. monilatum (Harding et al., 2009).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
