Abstract

Sessile animals that live on the foreshore undergo tidal cycles, and have to facevariations in physical and chemical parameters such as oxygen concentration. Duringemersion, availability of dissolved oxygen can be lowered for bivalves, which have only asmall reserve of seawater inside their closed shell. Differences in oxygen concentrationare thus expected to lead to modifications of the metabolism, including changes inmitochondrial activity. Previous studies investigated air exposure under extremeconditions, which do not always reflect environmental conditions these invertebrates haveto cope with. In this study, oxidative capacities of gill mitochondria of the oysterCrassostrea gigas were studied during a tidal cycle period, bycomparing oysters collected after emersion and immersion. Only minor differences werefound in state 3 (oxidative phosphorylation) or state 4 (non-phosphorylating oxygenconsumption) rates between the two conditions. Similarly, no difference was observed incytochrome c oxidase activity or in oxygen consumption related to maximalelectron flux through complexes I-IV, II-IV and IV. While capacities of substrateoxidation were maintained in both emersion and immersion conditions, capacity ofmitochondria to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was significantly lower in oysterssampled during emersion. These results suggest that although C. gigascould maintain aerobic metabolism during emersion period within a tidal cycle inits environment, energy producing mechanisms are affected.
