An erroneous record of Perna viridis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Bivalvia, Mytilidae) for the northeastern coast of Brazil, Southwestern Atlantic

Abstract

The introduction of species beyond their natural distribution area as a result of human activities is one of the main threats to marine biodiversity. In 2019, Perna viridis , an Indo-Pacific mytilid, was recorded for the first time in the coast of Brazil in Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro State). In 2021, this species was recorded in the Northeast region of Brazil (Fortaleza, Ceará State). This record was subsequently replicated in studies from 2022, 2023, and 2024. The specimens from Ceará State were deposited in the malacological collection “Prof. Henry Ramos Matthews - Série B” of the Universidade Federal do Ceará. During a curation activity of this collection, these specimens were reanalyzed and their identification questioned. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm the record of P. viridis for the Northeast region of Brazil. According to the analyses, the individuals collected on the coast of Ceará are not P. viridis , but belong to Mytella strigata , a native species of the coast of South America. Thus, the occurrence of P. viridis in the Southwestern Atlantic remains restricted to the southeast region of Brazil.

The introduction, intentional or not, of species beyond their natural distribution area as a result of human activities (called non-native species) is one of the main threats to marine biodiversity, along with overfishing, pollution, and climate-induced drivers (e.g., increase in seawater temperature and ocean acidification) (Costello et al., 2010 Costello, M. J., Coll, M., Danovaro, R., Halpin, P., Ojaveer, H. & Miloslavich P. 2010. A Census of Marine Biodiversity Knowledge, Resources, and Future Challenges. Plos One, 5, e12110.

). In 2019, Perna viridis was recorded for the first time in Brazil in Guanabara Bay (Rio de Janeiro State, Southeast coast) (de Messano et al., 2019 Messano, L. V. R. de, Gonçalves, J. E. A., Messano, H. F., Campos, S. H. C. & Coutinho, R. 2019.

). In 2021, it had its distribution on the Brazilian coast expanded, being recorded in the Northeast region of Brazil (Fortaleza, Ceará State) on recruitment plates placed in an area under port influence (Regis et al., 2021Regis, L. B., Arruda, M. O. & Matthews-Cascon, H. 2021. Estranhos entre nós: levantamento da fauna exótica de organismos incrustantes em uma área sob influência do Porto do Mucuripe. In: Encontro de Iniciação Científica, Encontros Universitários da Universidade Federal do Ceará, (39 ed.). ). This record was subsequently replicated in studies from 2022, 2023, and 2024 (Soares et al., 2022 Soares, M. O., Xavier, F. R. L., Dias, N. M., Silva, M. Q. M., Lima, J. P., Barroso, C.

) again recorded P. viridis in Rio de Janeiro, now in a Marine Extractive Reserve (Arraial do Cabo).

The specimens from Fortaleza (Ceará), analyzed by Regis et al. ( 2021Regis, L. B., Arruda, M. O. & Matthews-Cascon, H. 2021. Estranhos entre nós: levantamento da fauna exótica de organismos incrustantes em uma área sob influência do Porto do Mucuripe. In: Encontro de Iniciação Científica, Encontros Universitários da Universidade Federal do Ceará, (39 ed.). ), were deposited in the malacological collection “Prof. Henry Ramos Matthews - Série B” (CMPHRM-B) of the Universidade Federal do Ceará (UFC, Brazil) (voucher no. CMPHRM 7044B). During a curation activity in this collection, these specimens were reanalyzed, and their identification questioned. Therefore, this study aimed to confirm the record of P. viridis for the Northeast region of Brazil.

The specimens initially analyzed at UFC were sent to the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (Brazil), where they were measured, photographed, and compared with specimens of Perna viridis , Mytella strigata (Hanley, 1843), and Mytella guyanensis (Lamarck, 1819) deposited at the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo (MZSP, Brazil) and Museu da Diversidade Biológica da Universidade Estadual de Campinas (ZUEC, Brazil). The specimens analyzed were: P. viridis (voucher numbers: MZSP 119408, Manila, Philippines; MZSP 037151, Puket, Indonesia; MZSP 055588, Chantaburi, Thailand), M. strigata (ZUEC-BIV 501, 514, 519, 1512, 1715, 1716, 2168, 2169, 2946, 3509, and 3511, northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil) and M. guyanensis (ZUEC-BIV 6196 São Sebastião, northern coast of the state of São Paulo, Brazil).

Table 1 provides a comparative analysis of the principal diagnostic characteristics among the specimens under consideration. While all specimens examined display the typical morphology associated with the family Mytilidae, a distinction arises: P. viridis exhibits a ventrally oriented face ( Figure 1 A–E), whereas the other specimens present a forward-facing orientation. Additionally, the umbo is terminal in P. viridis but subterminal in the Fortaleza specimens ( Figure 1 F–J), as well as in M. strigata ( Figure 1 K–O) and M. guyanensis ( Figure 1 P–T). Moreover, the absence of the scar from the anterior adductor muscle in P. viridis sets it apart from the other specimens, in which this feature is present ( Figure 2 ). These observed discrepancies lead to the inference that the mussels collected from Fortaleza are taxonomically aligned not with the genus Perna , but rather with the genus Mytella .

Considering that the specimens collected in Fortaleza exhibit two teeth in the hinge ( Figure 1 J), and M. guyanensis lacks cardinal teeth ( Figure 1 T), these specimens are morphologically more similar to M. strigata . According to Lim et al. ( 2018 Lim, J. Y., Tay, T. S., Lim, C. S., Lee, S. S. C., Teo, S. L. M. & Tan, K. S. 2018. Mytella strigata (Bivalvia: Mytilidae): an alien mussel recently introduced to Singapore and spreading rapidly. Molluscan Research, 38(3), 170–186. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1080/13235818.2018.1423858
https://doi.org/10.1080/13235818.2018.14...
), M. strigata typically possesses three to four teeth, although up to seven teeth may be observed in some specimens. The species also exhibits significant color variation, ranging from uniformly black or green to brown with irregular green spots or lines, which may form concentric or zigzag patterns. The specimens analyzed from Fortaleza and M. strigata deposited in the ZUEC are brown with irregular green spots.

Other distinguishing characteristics between the specimens from Fortaleza and M. guyanensis , which also align them more closely with M. strigata , include: in Fortaleza’s specimens, the posterior margin is rounded but subtly inclined towards the ventral region, whereas, in M. guyanensis , it is broadly rounded; mussels from Fortaleza exhibit a slightly prominent umbonal region, in contrast to the distinctly conspicuous umbonal area of M. guyanensis . Moreover, the specimens from Fortaleza feature a keel extending from the umbo to the ventral posterior margin, defining a flat ventral area, whereas the valve surface of M. guyanensis tends to be more rounded.

According to the analyses, the individuals collected on the coast of Ceará are not of P. viridis but belong to the species Mytella strigata . In the Atlantic, M. strigata is distributed from Venezuela to Argentina (Rios, 2009Rios, E.C. 2009. Compendium of Brazilian Sea Shells, Rio Grande, Editora Evangraf. ). On the Brazilian coast, it is a quite abundant mytilid found in the intertidal zone, buried in mud or sandy-muddy banks and shallow lagoons, or can occur anchored to submerged plant remains, being used as food in Northeast and Southeast Brazil (Narchi and Galvão-Bueno, 1983Narchi, W. & Galvão-Bueno, M. S. 1983. Anatomia funcional de Mytella charruana (D’Orbigny, 1846) (Bivalvia: Mytilidae). Boletim de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, 6, 113–145. ; Nishida et al., 2006 Nishida, A. K., Nordi, N. & Alves, R. R. D. N. 2006. Mollusc gathering in Northeast Brazil: an Ethnoecological Approach. Human Ecology, 34, 133–145. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1007/s10745-005-9005-x

; Rios, 2009Rios, E.C. 2009. Compendium of Brazilian Sea Shells, Rio Grande, Editora Evangraf. ). Currently, M. strigata is also found in several locations in the Indo-Pacific, expanding its geographic distribution probably via ballast water and/or biofouling (Lim et al., 2018 Lim, J. Y., Tay, T. S., Lim, C. S., Lee, S. S. C., Teo, S. L. M. & Tan, K. S. 2018. Mytella strigata (Bivalvia: Mytilidae): an alien mussel recently introduced to Singapore and spreading rapidly.

).

Thus, the occurrence of P. viridis in the Southwestern Atlantic remains restricted to the Southeast region of Brazil (Guanabara Bay and Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro State) (de Messano et al., 2019 Messano, L. V. R. de, Gonçalves, J. E. A., Messano, H. F., Campos, S. H. C. & Coutinho, R. 2019.

https://doi.org/10.3391/bir.2023.12.1.17...
). Moreover, this study highlights important points in studies on biodiversity. Firstly, the fundamental role of a precise taxonomic analysis for a correct record of the biota. Secondly, the importance of scientific collections and the deposit of studied specimens in these collections since this practice allows fresh analyses and further studies across various fields of knowledge.
