Beyond relaxed: magnesium chloride anaesthesia alters the circulatory metabolome of a marine mollusc (Perna canaliculus)
ConclusionThis research is the first to use a  metabolomics approach to identify the metabolic consequences of this commonly used bivalve relaxing technique. Ultimately the use of MgCl2 anesthetization as a sampling strategy should be carefully evaluated and managed when performing metabolomics-related research. (Source: Metabolomics)

Improved Raman spectroscopy-based approach to assess microplastics in seafood
This study addressed the common technical challenges in the assessment of microplastics in seafood by developing an improved protocol based on Raman spectroscopy and using the green-lipped mussel Perna viridis and the Japanese jack mackerel Trachurus japonicus as the test models. Our findings identified a type of stainless-steel filter membranes with minimal Raman interference, and a combination of chemicals that achieved 99-100% digestion efficiency for both organic and inorganic biomass. This combined chemical treatment reached 90-100% recovery rates for seven types of microplastics, on which the surface modification was...

Effect of GreenshellTM mussel on osteoarthritis biomarkers and inflammation in healthy postmenopausal women: a study protocol for a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial
New Zealand Greenshell ™ mussels (GSM; Perna canaliculus) have recently been shown to decrease cartilage degradation in a rat model of induced metabolic osteoarthritis (MetOA). However, this effect has not been in... (Source: Trials)

Green-lipped (greenshell ™) mussel (Perna canaliculus) extract supplementation in treatment of osteoarthritis: a systematic review
ConclusionThe overall analysis showed that GSM provided moderate and clinically meaningful treatment effects on OA pain. However, the current evidence is limited by the number and quality of studies, and further larger and high-quality studies are needed to confirm the effectiveness and to identify the optimal GSM format. Nevertheless, it is worth considering using GSM extracts especially for patients seeking alternative pain relief treatments with fewer side effects compared to conventional treatment.

Lactic fermentation of cooked, comminuted mussel, Perna canaliculus
Food Microbiol. 2021 Oct;99:103829. doi: 10.1016/j.fm.2021.103829. Epub 2021 May 14.ABSTRACTThe endogenous microflora of mussels, filter feeders, can include pathogens with resulting food safety concerns. The aim was to develop a cook-then-ferment technology to extend shelf life and safety of a ready-to-eat mussels. Only after cooking to destroy the mussel's endogenous microflora could an edible product be made as determined by pH decline after fermentation and the fate of common pathogens. Perna canaliculus was bought live at retail on many dates. Fermentation was with commercial lactic cultures incubated under vacuum at ...
