Annual spawning of the hydrothermal vent mussel, Bathymodiolus azoricus, under controlled aquarium, conditions at atmospheric pressure
Ana Colaço,Inês Martins,Mario Laranjo,Luis Pires,C. Leal,Catarina Prieto,Valentina Costa,Humberto Lopes,Domitília Rosa,Paul R. Dando,Ricardo Serrão-Santos +10 more
TL;DR: The data support a main single period of spawning and of juvenile recruitment for B. azoricus, which dominates hydrothermal vent communities near the Azores Triple Junction and can be maintained in aquaria at atmospheric pressure.

Out of the deep sea into a land-based aquarium environment: investigating physiological adaptations in the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus
Raul Bettencourt,Valentina Costa,Mario Laranjo,Domitília Rosa,Luis Pires,Ana Colaço,Humberto Lopes,Ricardo S. Santos +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that even after prolonged aquarium maintenance at atmospheric pressure, mussels were still able to induce the metal-binding protein metallothionein gene, whether or not they had been subjected to repressurization in the IPOCAMP chamber.

Out of the deep-sea into a land-based aquarium environment: Investigating innate immunity in the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus
Raul Bettencourt,Valentina Costa,Mario Laranjo,Domitília Rosa,Luis Pires,Ana Colaço,Pierre Marie Sarradin,Humberto Lopes,Marie Josée Sarrazin,Ricardo S. Santos +9 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated molecular indicators of acclimation processes during which the mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus was maintained over long periods of time under laboratory conditions.

Mercury, cadmium and lead in black scabbardfish (Aphanopus carbo Lowe, 1839) from mainland Portugal and the Azores and Madeira archipelagos
V. Costa,Helena Lourenço,Ivone Figueiredo,Lucília Carvalho,Humberto Lopes,Inês Farias,Luis Pires,Cláudia Afonso,Ana Rita Vieira,Maria Leonor Nunes,Leonel Serrano Gordo +10 more
TL;DR: Investigation in muscle, liver and gonad tissue of black scabbardfish from the southern northeast Atlantic at three Portuguese locations found differences in toxic metal levels between locations, related to aspects of species dynamics and the influence of the main environmental features at each location.
LabHorta: a controlled aquarium system for monitoring physiological characteristics of the hydrothermal vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus
Ana Colaço,Raul Bettencourt,Valentina Costa,Sílvia P. P. Lino,Humberto Lopes,Inês Martins,Luis Pires,Catarina Prieto,Ricardo S. Santos +8 more
TL;DR: A case study with the vent mussel Bathymodiolus azoricus collected at the Menez Gwen hydrothermal vent field at 840-m depth, transported to experimental aquaria at atmospheric pressure and maintained under four different controlled experimental conditions to study their comparative condition index (CI).
