Abstract

Objective: Quantify the abundance and biomass of benthic molluscs in Igapó lake I, Londrina, Paraná.
Material and methods: Two samplings was made at Igapó lake I, first in June 2015 and then in February 2016. The substrate (including all embedded molluscs) was sampled using a 1 m2 quadrant, where 10 samples were taken between three distinct points from the lake. All molluscs captured were anesthetized and euthanized by overexposure to ice. Subsequently, the material was quantified in quantity (n) and total biomass (kg), and stored in barrels containing 4% formaldehyde buffered with calcium carbonate.
Results: Five species of molluscs were identified, three non native species (L. fortunei, Corbicula fluminea, Melanoides tuberculata), one native (Aylacostoma cf. tenuilabris) and one Pomacea sp. In both sampling, L. fortunei comprised approximately 90% of the abundance and total biomass. From the average density of L. fortunei and the total area of the Igapó lake I, it was estimated that the total population of golden mussels can reach 633 million individuals, corresponding to 638 tons of biomass.
Conclusion: The dominance of the invasive species L. fortunei in Igapó lake I is evident, where it can cause several negative effects, such as alterations in the nutrient cycle, reduction of native species, introduction of parasites, bioaccumulation of heavy metals in the food chain, decreased quality of water for human use and obstruction of pipes obstruction with risk of overflow. Therefore, we recommend an immediate management action in this environment in order to remove individuals of this species and, consequently, to reduce its abundance
