| Abstract |
Both wild and reared bivalves can host hydroids from the Eirenidae family which settle on the soft body parts of their host. Thousands of hydroids have been observed on a single bivalve, and often have severe detrimental effects on the host. However, this relationship has received little attention in aquaculture research, which is probably due to a lack of baseline data. An extensive review was conducted (i) to show the current level of knowledge on the association between eirenids and bivalves, providing a benchmark for future research; (ii) to detect a critical combination of biotic/abiotic factors that could switch the relationship from commensalism to infestation and (iii) to identify research priorities for future studies. Seventy scientific papers were screened to provide ecological information useful in understanding the hydroid-host-environment interactions and to show the global spatial and bathymetric distribution of the relationship. Although the main parameters influencing the hydroid abundance were identified, it was challenging to collate information from such heterogeneous data sources. A standardized method for data collection is proposed to obtain more robust and comparable data on the association. The most relevant and unstudied issue is the potential physiological and qualitative changes that could occur in infested bivalves. Monitoring the association could provide data needed to prevent or to control hyper-proliferation of the symbionts and to detect eventual synergistic effects with climate change. This could be fundamental for species living in areas particularly prone to climate regime shifts, such as semi-enclosed basins and estuarine habitats. |
