Bacterias en la hemolinfa de Argopecten purpuratus (Lamark, 1819) (Bivalvia: Pectinidae) [PDF]
Twenty three strains of bacteria were isolated from the hemolymph of Argopecten purpuratus. Our results point out to the predominance of asporogenous Gram-negative rods. We suggest that the presence of these bacteria in the hemolymph is a natural phenomenon.

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 ...

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

Population biology of the sea star Anasterias minuta (Forcipulatida: Asteriidae) threatened by anthropogenic activities in rocky intertidal shores of San Matías Gulf, Patagonia, Argentina [PDF]
In Patagonian coastal areas, intertidal benthic communities are exposed to extreme physical conditions. The interaction between harsh environment and anthropogenic pressure can generate changes in population biology of marine invertebrates, like density ...

BIOINCRUSTANTES EN ESTRUCTURAS DE CULTIVO DE Argopecten purpuratus EN BAHÍA SAMANCO, PERÚ
Los bioincrustantes, son organismos que se adhieren sobre estructuras duras que se sumergen o estan en contacto continuo con el agua de mar. Con el objetivo de dar a conocer la composicion de especies bioincrustantes en el cultivo suspendido de Argopecten purpuratus, el dia 20 de Octubre de 1998 se realizo un muestreo de diferentes materiales y sobre ...

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
