HISTOLOGICAL STUDY OF GONADS IN TRIPLOID SCALLOPS, ARGOPECTEN PURPURATUS

Journal of Shellfish Research, 2005
Abstract It is expected that in triploid organisms the energy normally used for reproduction would be allocated to growth. However, not all triploid molluscs are completely sterile, and in some cases even gametes are produced. The aim of this study is to assess the gonadal development in the native scallop Argopecten purpuratus induced to triploidy ...

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 ...

Functional analyses of TRAF6 gene in Argopecten scallops

Fish & Shellfish Immunology
The tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-associated factor (TRAF) family has been reported to be involved in many immune pathways. In a previous study, we identified 5 TRAF genes, including TRAF2, 3, 4, 6, and 7, in the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians, Air) and the Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus, Apu).

Exposure of bay scallop Argopecten irradians to micro-polystyrene: Bioaccumulation and toxicity

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Toxicology & Pharmacology, 2020
Marine microplastic pollution poses a threat to aquatic organisms, including bivalves. In this study, we investigated the accumulation of microplastics and their elicited antioxidant stress response in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians. Scallops were exposed to 1 μm diameter micro-polystyrene (MP) beads at 10, 100, and 1000 beads/mL concentrations ...

Bacteria in the culture of the scallop Argopecten purpuratus (Lamarck, 1819)

Aquaculture International, 2001
The scallop Argopecten purpuratus is one of themajor resources of commercial importance in Chilean aquaculture. One of themajor limiting factors for the culture of this species has been mass mortalityoccurring during production of juvenile “seed” organisms where massmortality of veliger larvae has been attributed to the presence of pathogenicbacteria ...

Overview of Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians) Landings

1989
Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) have been harvested along the Atlantic coast of North America since colonial times. Settlers on Cape Cod picked them up by hand at low tide (Belding 1910). In North Carolina also, shipping to northern markets in New York and Boston began as early as 1870 (Chestnut 1951).

Identification of a C-type lectin from the bay scallop Argopecten irradians

Molecular Biology Reports, 2008
C-type lectins are Ca(2+) dependent carbohydrate-recognition proteins that play crucial roles in the invertebrate innate immunity, such as nonself recognition, activation of proPO system, antibacterial activity, promotion of phagocytosis and nodule formation.

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 ...

Characterization of a myostatin-like gene from the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Gene Structure and Expression, 2004
A complete cDNA was cloned from the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) that codes for a 382-amino-acid myostatin-like protein (sMSTN). The sMSTN sequence is most similar to mammalian myostatin (MSTN), containing a conserved proteolytic cleavage site (RXXR) and conserved cysteine residues in the C-terminus.

Epifaunal invertebrates as predators of juvenile bay scallops (Argopecten irradians)

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2014
article i nfo Epifauna Mesograzers Predation Seagrass Predation strongly influences populations of numerous benthic invertebrates, although many predation studies to date have focused on macroscopic individuals, ignoring critical early life stages. Juveniles of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians, settle and grow on the blades of eelgrass, Zostera ...
