PINNA NOBILIS SPOTTING IN USTICA ISLAND, AUTUMN 2022
The largest bivalve mollusc in the Mediterranean Sea is critically endangered after an epidemic decimated its population in 2016. A newly described Haplosporidian endoparasite (Haplosporidium pinnae) is the most probable cause of this ecological catastrophe placing one of the largest bivalves of the world on the brink of extinction.
The most likely spread of the disease along the Mediterranean basin associated with scattered survival spots and very few survivors (potentially resistant individuals), point to a challenging scenario for conservation of the emblematic Pinna nobilis, which will require fast and strategic management measures and should make use of the essential role citizen science projects can play *
We are happy to find a couple of specimens...still alive!
