Physiological Impacts of a Newly Discovered Trematode Parasite on Its Host, the Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians) [PDF]
Parasites have the potential to impact aquaculture by degrading product quality, increasing mortality, and reducing fecundity. Previous research has identified a novel trematode parasite, Saccularina sp., infecting the gills of wild and cultured ...

Effect of the Algaecide Palmitoleic Acid on the Immune Function of the Bay Scallop Argopecten irradians [PDF]
Palmitoleic acid (PA), an algicidal compound, is used against the toxin producing dinofagelate Alexandrium tamarense, however, its impact on the edible bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) is still unclear.

Marine Toxin Okadaic Acid Affects the Immune Function of Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians) [PDF]
Okadaic acid (OA) is produced by dinoflagellates during harmful algal blooms and is a diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxin. This toxin is particularly problematic for bivalves that are cultured for human consumption.

Transcriptome Analysis Reveals MAPK/AMPK as a Key Regulator of the Inflammatory Response in PST Detoxification in Mytilus galloprovincialis and Argopecten irradians [PDF]
Paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) are an increasingly important source of pollution. Bivalves, as the main transmission medium, accumulate and metabolize PSTs while protecting themselves from damage.

A bacterial symbiont in the gill of the marine scallop Argopecten irradians irradians metabolizes dimethylsulfoniopropionate [PDF]
Microbial lysis of dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) is a key step in marine organic sulfur cycling and has been recently demonstrated to play an important role in mediating interactions between bacteria, algae, and zooplankton.
