Bivalve microbiomes are shaped by host species, size, parasite infection, and environment [PDF]

PeerJ
Many factors affect an organism’s microbiome including its environment, proximity to other organisms, and physiological condition. As filter feeders, bivalves have highly plastic microbiomes that are especially influenced by the surrounding seawater, yet

Metabolomic Investigations of American Oysters Using 1H-NMR Spectroscopy

Marine Drugs, 2010
The Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a useful, robust model marine organism for tissue metabolism studies. Its relatively few organs are easily delineated and there is sufficient understanding of their functions based on classical assays to ...

HEART RATE AND LEUCOCYTE CIRCULATION IN CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA (GMELIN), ,

The Biological Bulletin, 1965
It was demonstrated that the number of circulating leucocytes from the heart blood samples of 21 oysters and the heart rate of oysters increase linearly with the rising ambient temperature at which the oysters were held. At ambient temperatures of 6°, 12°, 18° and 22° C., the mean leucocyte number per ml. heart blood was found to be 1.6, 2.7, 4.1 and 4.
