Copper toxicity to the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians)

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1979
Coastal marine environments are commonly used for disposal of industrial waste, dredge spoils and sewage sludge, which contain high concentrations of copper and other heavy metals. For example, in the New York Bight, a daily input of copper at 14 tons is estimated.

An inhibitor κB homologue from bay scallop Argopecten irradians

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2010
IkappaB is an important member of NF-kappaB pathway in the innate immune system. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequence encoding IkappaB protein (designated AiIkappaB) was isolated from bay scallop Argopecten irradians. The complete sequence of AiIkappaB cDNA containing a 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 237 bp, a 3' UTR of 1023 bp with a ...

Utility of high-density plantings in bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians, restoration

Aquaculture International, 2010
Two different methods of establishing high-density spawner sanctuaries for bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) restoration were evaluated over 2 years at a site in Northwest Harbor, East Hampton, New York, USA. Hatchery-reared scallops, which had been overwintered at nearby sites, were free-planted directly to the bottom in late March/early ...

Copper accumulation in the bay scallop,Argopecten irradians

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1983
Adults of the bay scallopArgopecten irradians were held in flowing seawater containing 5 or 10Μg Cu/kg at ambient temperature and salinity. After eight weeks, scallops contained up to 91 and 310Μg Cu/g dry weight, respectively, in the total soft parts. Copper uptake was linear over time.

Characterization of the Myostatin-Like Gene in Argopecten irradians

The Biological Bulletin, 2004
The bay scallop, Argopecten irradians, is a marine bivalve with significant commercial and scientific importance, primarily as a result of the species’ large adductor muscle. Recently, a myostatin-like transcript (sMSTN) has been isolated from this species.

An immune responsive multidomain galectin from bay scallop Argopectens irradians

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2010
Galectins are a family of beta-galactoside-binding lectins which play crucial roles in innate immunity of vertebrates and invertebrates. In the present study, the cDNA of a galectin with multiple carbohydrate-recognition domains (CRDs) was cloned from bay scallop Argopectens irradians (designated AiGal1) by expressed sequence tag (EST) and rapid ...

Nursery culture of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians, in suspended mesh nets

Aquaculture, 1991
Abstract Scallops were suspended subtidally in pyramid-shaped (pearl) nets in Long Island Sound, Milford, Connecticut, USA to assess effects of density and temperature at deployment on growth and survival. Juveniles as small as 4 mm were grown at densities ranging from 250 to 15 000/m 2 .

AMPK-mediated regulation of cardiac energy metabolism: Implications for thermotolerance in Argopecten irradians irradians

Gene
AMPK is a key regulator of metabolism in eukaryotes across various pathways related to energy regulation. Although extensive investigations of AMPK have been conducted in mammals and some model organisms, research on AMPK in scallops is comparatively limited.

Toxicity of Un-ionized Ammonia, Nitrite, and Nitrate to Juvenile Bay Scallops, Argopecten irradians irradians

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2007
Juvenile bay scallops (7.2-26.4 mm) were exposed for 72 h to different concentrations of un-ionized ammonia, nitrite, or nitrate. Using the Trimmed Spearman Karber method, 50% lethal concentrations (LC(50)) and 95% confidence limits were calculated individually for each.

Gpi genotypic effect on quantitative traits in the northern bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians

Marine Biology, 1995
The relationships between glucose-6-phosphate isomerase (Gpi) genotype and quantitative variation related to reproduction and growth were explored over the lifespan of a single cohort of northern bay scallops, Argopecten irradians irradians (Lamarck), from September 1986 to April 1988 in the Niantic River estuary, Connecticut, USA.
