Individual linear growth rates were studied in freshwater pearl mussels Margaritifera margaritifera from the Livojoki River. Growth deceleration coefficients were shown to vary widely and differ significantly among individuals. The average value of the growth deceleration coefficient for the population is 0.060. The growth of mussels in the Livojoki River is accompanied by two regular biorhythms. These biorhythm periods were roughly constant both through an individual's ontogeny and among mussels, their average periods were 7.16 and 4.09 years. We discuss the possibility that these biorhythms are of thermodynamic nature.
Résumé
Les taux de croissance linéaire individuels ont été étudiés chez les moules perlières d'eau douce Margaritifera margaritifera de la rivière Livojoki. Les coefficients de ralentissement de la croissance varient considérablement d'une moule à l'autre. La valeur moyenne du coefficient de ralentissement de la croissance pour la population est de 0,060. La croissance des moules dans la rivière Livojoki s'accompagne de deux biorythmes réguliers. Ces périodes de biorythme étaient à peu près constantes, aussi bien dans l'ontogenèse d'un individu que parmi les moules, leurs périodes moyennes étaient de 7,16 et 4,09 ans. Nous discutons de la possibilité que ces biorythmes soient de nature thermodynamique.
