Meltwater effects on intertidal Antarctic limpets, Nacella concinna / John Davenport.

Title: Meltwater effects on intertidal Antarctic limpets, Nacella concinna / John Davenport.
Author(s): Davenport, John.
Date: 2001.
In: Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom. (2001.), Vol. 81(4) (2001)
Abstract: Reports results of 1999 study of limpet Nacella concinna conducted at South Cove, Adelaide Island, Antarctica. Nacella concinna was found to be stenohaline osmoconformer with median lower lethal salinity of 20.9 psu and medial lethal time for freshwater exposure of 2 h 18 min. A 1 h exposure to freshwater caused 14% increase in body volume and 27% loss of body fluid ions. Short-term behavioural response to exposure to meltwater involves clamp down of shell, retraction of head, cephalic and mantle margin tentacles, while on vertical surfaces 50% of limpets lose adhesion within 5 minutes. Consideration of tidal regimes suggests that individual intertidal limpet risks exposure to severe meltwater exposure about once a year.
