Description
Summary:The infestation of polychaetes Polydora in oyster C. gigas within cultivation was accompanied by monthly samples whereas the physical and chemical parameters of seawater were monitored weekly. The total area occupied by bubbles and tubes in the inner surface of the valve was determined, indicating the possible damage to the main physiological characteristics of oysters. It was observed prevalence of annelid Polydora sp. (Polychaeta: Spionidae) in all samples each month, reaching 100% in the period of cooler waters. The histological analysis showed that the tissues and organs were intact, occurring the formation of gametes. In oysters severely infested, it was possible to observe intense fibrosis in the mantle, showing repair of the tissue. A infestação por poliquetas do gênero Polydora em ostras C. gigas de cultivo foi acompanhada por meio de coletas mensais enquanto os parâmetros físico-químicos da água do mar foram monitorados semanalmente. Foi determinada a área total ocupada pelas bolhas e tubos na superfície interna das valvas, observando os possíveis danos às principais características fisiológicas da ostra. Houve prevalência do anelídeo Polydora sp. (Polychaeta: Spionidae) em todos os meses amostrados, chegando a 100% no período de águas mais frias. As análises histológicas mostraram que os tecidos e órgãos estavam intactos, ocorrendo a formação de gametas. Nas ostras severamente infestadas, foi possível observar intensa fibrose na região do manto, mostrando reparo do tecido.
