Temperature, but not acidification, influences the growth and lipid profile of juvenile sand whiting, Sillago ciliata (Cuvier 1829)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Seafood provides an essential source of macro‐ and micronutrients for coastal communities worldwide. Climate change is a key threat to seafood security, altering the sizes, abundances, distributions, physiology and ecological interactions of fisheries species, and increasingly, there is evidence of impacts to seafood nutritional quality.

That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Assessing the physiological fitness of oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from Eastern New Brunswick, Canada

Aquaculture Reports, 2020
In Atlantic Canada, oyster farmers rely on wild oyster spat collections for their main source of seed. In this study, the physiological fitness of oysters originating from four seed producing areas in eastern New Brunswick (NB) was compared.

Apoptosis in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica [PDF]

Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2003
Apoptosis, or programmed cell death, has been reported as being pivotal in infectious diseases of different organisms. The effects of apoptosis on the progression and transmission of the protistan parasites Perkinsus marinus and Haplosporidium nelsoni in the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica were studied.

Tributary‐scale oyster reef restoration in Harris Creek, Maryland: lessons from a decade of planning, implementing, and monitoring

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In response to the decline of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay, a large‐scale restoration initiative was launched in Harris Creek, Maryland, in 2011. This effort marked a shift from fragmented projects toward a coordinated, sanctuary‐based approach to oyster restoration.

The microbiome of the Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, in health, disease and environmental stress

Polson, Shawn W.Wommack, K. EricThe Easter oyster, Crassostrea virginica, is an ecologically and economically important species native to the bays and estuaries all along the western Atlantic. However, it has declined to

Impacts of Salinity and Seasonality on Reproductive Physiology in Diploid and Tetraploid Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) [PDF]

, 2023
The demand for high-value aquaculture products, like Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), necessitates efficient commercial hatchery strategies. Triploid oysters, derived from mating diploid females with tetraploid males, exhibit enhanced growth and ...

Gaining ground: survival of native estuarine fauna exposed to recycled glass sand, a potential material for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the potential for using recycled glass sand as a resource for restoring Louisiana's coastline by testing the effects of exposure of native estuarine fauna to recycled glass sand and other sand treatments in a laboratory environment.

From shell to shelter: investigating small reef fish abundance on degraded seafloor restored with mussels and shell material

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Reef‐forming shellfish facilitate biodiversity through providing structural complexity in benthic habitats. Globally, reef‐forming shellfish have been overharvested to near extirpation, with a corresponding loss in biodiversity. Mussel shell material, an aquaculture by‐product, has the potential to rehabilitate ecosystem services ...

General DNA Methylation Patterns and Environmentally-Induced Differential Methylation in the Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica)

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Epigenetic modification, specifically DNA methylation, is one possible mechanism for intergenerational plasticity. Before inheritance of methylation patterns can be characterized, we need a better understanding of how environmental change modifies the ...
