Transcriptome analysis provides insight into adaptive mechanisms of scallops under environmental stress

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
High temperature and hypoxia greatly threaten marine life and aquaculture. Scallops, a diverse and ecologically important group of high economic value, mostly thrive in fluctuating environments, and are vulnerable to environmental stress.

Nematopsis Schneider, 1892 in Nerite Gastropods From Saint Kitts, With a Phylogenetic Study of the Genus, and Placement Within the Phylum Apicomplexa Levine, 1970. [PDF]

J Eukaryot Microbiol
ABSTRACT The Apicomplexa are obligate unicellular parasites found in terrestrial and aquatic environments. Nematopsis are found infecting marine invertebrates in a life cycle involving mollusks and crustaceans. In the present study, mantle and muscle tissues from nerite gastropods were microscopically examined for Nematopsis using wet mounts and ...

Genome-Wide Association Study Reveals PC4 as the Candidate Gene for Thermal Tolerance in Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians)

Frontiers in Genetics, 2021
The increasing sea temperature caused by global warming has resulted in severe mortalities in maricultural scallops. Therefore, improving thermal tolerance has become an active research area in the scallop farming industry.

SNP identification by transcriptome sequencing and candidate gene-based association analysis for heat tolerance in the bay scallop Argopecten irradians. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
The northern bay scallop Argopecten irradians irradians (Lamarck) and the southern bay scallop Argopecten irradians concentricus (Say) were introduced into China in the 1980s and 1990s, and are now major aquaculture molluscs in China. Here, we report the
