鷹嘴殼菜蛤屬(學名:Ischadium)是貽貝科下的單型屬,屬下只有鷹嘴殼菜蛤(Ischadium recurvum)一種。[1]鷹嘴殼菜蛤分佈於北美洲大西洋沿岸,從鱈魚角延伸至西印度群島。[1]鷹嘴殼菜蛤通常生長在美洲牡蠣(學名:Crassostrea virginica)的殼上。鷹嘴殼菜蛤棲息在潮下帶,或在裸露的牡蠣可在冬季存活的、切薩皮克灣以南的潮間帶。[2]它們也會附着在其他堅硬的基底上,如人工魚礁[3]或死亡的半鹹水蛤蜊河口馬珂蛤(學名:Rangia cuneata)的殼上。[4]
捕食
[編輯]鷹嘴殼菜蛤主要通過氣味發現捕食者,其中包括捕食者自身的氣味及周圍死亡貝類的氣味。鷹嘴殼菜蛤的天敵之一為藍蟹(學名:Callinectes sapidus)。鷹嘴殼菜蛤是富含營養物質的優質獵物。相較於其他貽貝如側肌蛤(學名:Musculus lateralis,尚無權威譯名),鷹嘴殼菜蛤在季節變化中能始終保持豐富的粗蛋白質、脂質和微量元素,以及較高的總能量。此外,鷹嘴殼菜蛤還含有更多的鎂、鐵、鋅、銅和錳。[5]
避免被捕食的策略
[編輯]鷹嘴殼菜蛤通過構建更堅硬的殼來保護自己。殼的強度隨着貽貝長度的增加而增強。[6]結群的貽貝比單個個體更容易存活,因為在群體中,捕食者更難觸及它們,也更難從群體中分離它們。貽貝利用足絲來抵禦捕食者。足絲是能將它們固着於其他基底上的纖維束。足絲越多,貽貝越難被移除。較大的貽貝能分泌出更多足絲,而較小的貽貝雖然將更多能量用於生成足絲,但由於體型和表面積較小,往往成為藍蟹等捕食者的目標。[7]
棲息地
[編輯]鷹嘴殼菜蛤生長在美洲牡蠣礁上,這些牡蠣礁分佈於墨西哥灣沿岸,特別是河口附近。[7]鷹嘴殼菜蛤偏好在低鹽度環境中覓食。隨着鹽度增加,濾水率,有機物攝食率和同化率都會降低。高鹽度環境會對這種雙殼類動物造成壓力,影響其進食效率。[8]鷹嘴殼菜蛤的存活與牡蠣床密切相關。在切薩皮克灣等地,疾病和過度捕撈導致牡蠣數量下降,從而導致鷹嘴殼菜蛤的數量減少。儘管鷹嘴殼菜蛤可以附着在其他堅硬基底上,但牡蠣數量的減少也會導致沉積物比率增加,從而減少鷹嘴殼菜蛤的可用基底。[9]這使鷹嘴殼菜蛤的數量極易受牡蠣數量的影響。
