Abstract The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis L.) is a native bivalve of the European coasts. Harvest of this species has declined during the last decades because of the appearance of two parasites that have led to the collapse of the stocks and the loss of the natural oyster beds. O.

Inheritance of the General Shell Color in the Scallop Argopecten purpuratus (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) [PDF]
Although some external coloration and pigmentation patterns in molluscan shells may be attributable to environmental factors, most variation in these phenotypic characters depends on uncomplicated genetic mechanisms. Genetic research on inheritance of color variations in the north-Chilean scallop (Argopecten purpuratus) has now been expanded to analyze

Predicting the energy budget of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus in an oxygen–limiting environment [PDF]
Abstract Low concentrations of oxygen determine marine species distribution and abundance along the Peruvian coast with consequences for human activity such as fishing and aquaculture. In order to assess bioenergetic consequences of oxygen limitation on the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus , we first developed a Dynamic Energy Budget (DEB ...

Improving escape responses of hatchery-reared scallops Argopecten purpuratus
Hatchery rearing of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus has resulted in successive generations of scallops not exposed to predators that are less sensitive to and escape more slowly from predators than wild scallops. The present study examined whether conditioning hatchery-reared A. purpuratus to its natural predator, the sea star Meyenaster gelatinosus,

Mitochondrial genome of the Peruvian scallopArgopecten purpuratus(Bivalvia: Pectinidae) [PDF]
The mitochondrial genome of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus was determined. The length of the mitochondrial coding region is 15,608 bp. A typical bivalve mitochondrial composition was detected with 12 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 21 transfer RNA genes, with the absence of the atp8 gene.

The immune response in mollusks has an important role as a defense against bacteriae, fungi, protozoa and metazoans. The hemocytes are responsible for generating different kinds of innate responses such as: phagocytosis, encapsulation and production of ...

Argopecten purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819) and Mesodesma donacium (Lamarck, 1818) are bivalves that inhabit the Humboldt Current Upwelling Ecosystem. They have contrasting biogeographical origins, suggesting that their responses to exogenous factors should ...

Potential roles of MEK1 on aging in Argopecten scallops
Dual specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase 1 (MEK1) has been found to regulate aging through the Ras/Raf/MEK/ERK cascade in terrestrial animals. However, few reports have focused on MEK1 promoting aging in marine bivalves. In this study, we
