Mild heat stress promotes thermotolerance and protection against several different stresses in aquatic animals, consequences correlated with the accumulation of heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70). The purpose of this study was to determine if non-lethal heat shock (NLHS) of the Asian green mussel,  Perna viridis , an aquatic species of commercial value, promoted the production of Hsp70 and enhanced its resistance to stresses. Initially, the LT 50  and LHT for  P .  viridis  were determined to be 42°C and 44°C, respectively, with no heat shock induced death of mussels at 40°C or less. Immunoprobing of western blots revealed augmentation of constitutive ( Pv Hsp70-1) and inducible ( Pv Hsp70-2) Hsp70 in tissue from adductor muscle, foot, gill and mantel of  P .  viridis  exposed to 38°C for 30 min followed by 6 h recovery, NLHS conditions for this organism. Characterization by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) revealed that  Pv Hsp70-1 and  Pv Hsp70-2 respectively corresponded most closely to Hsp70 from  P .  viridis  and  Mytilus galloprovincialis . Priming of adult mussels with NLHS promoted thermotolerance and increased resistance to  V .  alginolyticus . The induction of Hsp70 in parallel with enhanced thermotolerance and improved protection against  V .  alginolyticus , suggests Hsp70 functions in  P .  viridis  as a molecular chaperone and as a stimulator of the immune system.
