Genomic characterization of interspecific hybrids between the scallops Argopecten purpuratus and A. irradians irradians. [PDF]
The Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) has been introduced to China and has successfully been hybridized with the bay scallop (A. irradians irradians). The F1 hybrids of these two scallops exhibited a large increase in production traits and some other interesting new characteristics. To understand the genetic basis of this heterosis, nuclear gene

The contribution of aquaculture systems to global aquaculture production
Abstract Since 2000, aquaculture became well‐integrated into the global food system. Aquaculture systems are highly diverse, producing globally equal amounts of fed and extractive species. In Asia and Africa, inland aquaculture provides the bulk of aquaculture production, while in the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, marine aquaculture dominates.

Abstract Marine mussels are ubiquitous and their tough byssal threads allow for the formation of expansive, age‐aggregated mats known as mussel matrices which can host marine invertebrates and algal macro‐benthic communities playing an important role in food‐web dynamics.

Abstract For hundreds of years, the color diversity of Mollusca shells has been a topic of interest for humanity. However, the genetic control underlying color expression is still poorly understood in mollusks. The pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera is increasingly becoming a biological model to study this process due to its ability to produce a large

European eel, Anguilla anguilla, larval culture faces a bottleneck during the transition to exogenous feeding. To stimulate gut‐priming, in the present study, prebiotics (AgriMOS, mannan‐oligosaccharides, and β‐(1,3 and 1,6)‐poly‐D‐glucose), probiotics (Bactocell, Pediococcus acidilactici), and synbiotics (AgriMOS + Bactocell) were administered to ...

Heritability Estimates of Growth‐Related Traits in Oriental River Prawns, Macrobrachium nipponense
Breeding programs in oriental river prawn populations would benefit from a knowledge of heritabilities for growth‐related traits to assess their potential for genetic improvement. This study reports the results of heritability estimation and evaluation of epistatic interactions for growth‐related traits in oriental river prawn (Macrobrachium nipponense)
