No references found | Among the Pectinidae, available energy used for gonad build-up comes entirely from the adductor muscle (Chantler 2006), whereas Mytilidae, Ostreidae, and Veneridae take up energy, not only from the digestive gland, muscle, and mantle tissue, but from other kind of nongerminal nourishing cells, such as VCT cells and ADG cells (Mathieu & Lubet 1993). This data is valuable for establishing a gonad index in those bivalves different than the Pectinidae family that lack a gonad as a true organ (Pteridae, Mytilidae, Pinnidae, Ostreidae, and Veneridae). Mytilidae and Pteriidae have a wide and strong association with some corals (as Stylophora pistillata; Porites solida; Pocillopora verrucosa; Favites abdita; Favites fluxuosa; anal Goniastrea pictinata; Acropora pharonis; Montipora venosa; Acropora humilis, Anacropora spinosa and Montipora spongiosa), whereas Pectinidae, Arcidae, and Tridacnidae have a low coral association. |
