Life in a post‐eelgrass world: Temporal compression of a spatial refuge from predation

Ecosphere
Spatial refugia offered by structurally complex habitats mitigate high rates of predation for many aquatic and terrestrial prey species. These refuges are particularly important for small juvenile marine invertebrates, for which predation often ...

Survival of the fittest: genomic investigations of the bay scallop reveal a shift in population structure through a summer mortality event [PDF]

BMC Genomics
Background Understanding the genetic basis of resilience in marine organisms is critical for conservation and management, particularly in the face of escalating environmental stress and disease outbreaks.

Panoramic spatial vision in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2021
We have a growing understanding of the light-sensing organs and light-influenced behaviours of animals with distributed visual systems, but we have yet to learn how these animals convert visual input into behavioural output. It has been suggested they consolidate visual information early in their sensory-motor pathways, resulting ...

Potential roles of the sirtuins in promoting longevity for larger <i>Argopecten</i> scallops. [PDF]

Mar Life Sci Technol
Abstract Annual bay scallops are commercially significant bivalve species for fisheries and aquaculture, but their small size and severe inbreeding depression impede the development of their industry. Some interspecific hybrids of bay scallops and peruvian scallops show longer lifespans and significantly greater sizes, which may result from ...

Hybrid sterility in hermaphroditic Argopecten scallops: Mutated mitochondrial genes and abnormal expression of nuclear genes

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) are a commercially important bivalve species for fisheries and aquaculture in China, the USA, Peru and Chile, but their small size and serious inbreeding depression restrict the sustainable development of their ...

Draft genome of the Peruvian scallop Argopecten purpuratus [PDF]

GigaScience, 2018
Abstract Background The Peruvian scallop, Argopecten purpuratus, is mainly cultured in southern Chile and Peru was introduced into China in the last century. Unlike other Argopecten scallops, the Peruvian scallop normally has a long life span of up to 7 to 10 years.

Molecular characteristics of IGF and IGF1R genes and their potential roles on longevity in two scallops with distinct lifespans

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Bay scallops are commercially important bivalve species for aquaculture worldwide, but the serious inbreeding depression is decreasing their production. Some interspecific hybrids of bay scallops (Argopecten irradians irradians) and Peruvian scallops (A.

Atypical bacteria accompanying the scallop Argopecten purpuratus [PDF]

Investigaciones marinas, 2002
A simple bacteriological analysis for accompanying culturable microflora from different regions of the body of Argopecten purpuratus showed a rather atypical bacteria considering that farming is done in the sea-water column. High numbers of Vibrio strains, Gram-positive cocci, and sporeformers were present. Also members of the Enterobacteriaceae family

Extensive Fouling of Eelgrass (<i>Zostera marina</i> L.) Reproductive Shoots by Invasive Tunicates-A Potential Threat to Meadow Reproductive Output? [PDF]

Ecol Evol
Here, we document through field observations and photographs, the extensive fouling of seed‐bearing Z. marina reproductive shoots by invasive tunicates in a Cape Cod meadow during late spring/early summer 2025. Such fouling may block seed release and/or inhibit dispersal which may reduce meadow reproductive success.

Heavy metals pollution and health risk assessment in farmed scallops: Low level of Cd in coastal water could lead to high risk of seafood

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Scallops are one of the most common bivalves, large-scale farmed in the coastal areas of China. Three species of scallops (Chlamys farreri, Argopecten irradians and Patinopecten yessoensis) from 10 samples sites along the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea ...
