Resistance to OsHV-1 Infection in Crassostrea gigas Larvae [PDF]
The ostreid herpesvirus (OsHV-1) is one of the major diseases that affect the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Selective breeding programs were recently shown to improve resistance easily to OsHV-1 infections in spat, juvenile and adult oysters. Nevertheless, this resistance has never been investigated in larvae, whereas this developmental stage has ...

Ocean and coastal acidification (OCA) poses a significant and rapidly emerging threat to mollusks. The physiological resilience of mollusks to OCA varies considerably; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood.

Defensin‐DNA Supramolecular Complexes as a New pH‐Sensing Nanomaterial
Crocodylus porosus β‐defensin 13 (CpoBD13), a host defence peptide from the saltwater crocodile, is discovered to interact with single‐ and double‐stranded DNA to form supramolecular assemblies, termed defensin‐induced spherical complexes (DISCs).

Yellowish coloration of oyster Crassostrea gigas.
Recently yellowish colored oysters, so called “Kigaki”, were found in Kesennuma Bay, Maizuru Bay and Hiroshima Bay. They showed yellow body fluid in the normal colored soft body. The yellowish coloration of oysters was temporazy and the yellow pigment disappeared in a few weeks (half time 2-3 days).

Will the Mediterranean Sea Be a Cul‐de‐Sac for Marine Gastropods Under Climate Change?
Marine benthic gastropods remain understudied despite extensive historical records, limiting our understanding of their vulnerability to climate change. Using multi‐temporal species distribution models, we show that intermediate future climate conditions may trigger major habitat contractions for four key cowrie and frog‐shell species in the NE ...

Transcriptomic response of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas to hypoxia [PDF]
Marine intertidal organisms commonly face hypoxic stress during low tide emersion; moreover, eutrophic conditions and sediment nearness could lead to hypoxic phenomena; it is indeed important to understand the molecular processes involved in the response to hypoxia.

Crescimento da prodissoconcha de ostras do gênero Crassostrea Sacco, 1897 (Bivalvia, Ostreidae)
Foi realizado o acompanhamento do crescimento larval de três espécies de ostras do gênero Crassostrea. As espécies Crassostrea rhizophorae (Guilding, 1828) e C. brasiliana (Lamarck, 1819) são ostras nativas do litoral do Paraná e são comercializadas nos

ABSTRACT Epigenetic modifications to DNA are proposed to underpin plastic responses to environmental change, and the manner in which DNA methylation contributes to plasticity likely differs among tissues. However, few studies have investigated tissue‐specific DNA methylation responses to ecologically relevant environmental stressors in natural settings.

Antiviral Defense and Innate Immune Memory in the Oyster
The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is becoming a valuable model for investigating antiviral defense in the Lophotrochozoa superphylum. In the past five years, improvements to laboratory-based experimental infection protocols using Ostreid herpesvirus

ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...
