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.

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).


Pinna nobilis (Fan Mussel) Atlantis Gozo

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.


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.

A mass mortality event (MME) impacting the bivalve Pinna nobilis was detected across a wide geographical area of the Spanish Mediterranean Sea (Western Mediterranean Sea) in early autumn 2016. Underwater visual censuses were conducted across several localities separated by hundreds of kilometers along the Spanish Mediterranean coasts and revealed worrying high mortality rates reaching up to.

The noble pen shell Pinna nobilis is a Mediterranean endemic and emblematic giant bivalve. Already considered by the late 20th century to be an endangered species, it is facing a dramatic and rapidly expanding epizooty that has decimated populations since mid-2016.

Parasite causing massive outbreak of Mediterranean penshell Pinna nobilis continues to extend rapidly, revealing need for further and urgent action.Following a first outbreak in 2016, which caused the mortality of around 99% of the population in Spain, the spread of a disease caused by an haplosporidian parasit and perhaps other mycobacteria is.

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.

1. Introduction. The pen shell Pinna nobilis (Linnaeus, 1758), reaching a size of up to 120 cm (Zavodnik et al., 1991), is the largest bivalve of the Mediterranean Sea (where it is endemic), and ranks amongst the largest in the world.It occurs at depths between 0.5 and 60 m, mostly on soft-bottom areas overgrown by seagrass meadows, but also occasionally on bare sandy substrate and maërl beds.
