Pectenovarin, A New Ovarian Carotenoprotein from Japanese Scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis [PDF]
The scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis accumulates carotenoids in the ovary during the maturation stage. Its conspicuous pink color implies the presence of carotenoprotein.

Anatomical Distribution of Diarrhetic Shellfish Toxins (DSTs) in the Japanese Scallop Patinopecten yessoensis and Individual Variability in Scallops and Mytilus edulis Mussels: Statistical Considerations [PDF]
Diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) are a group of phycotoxins that include okadaic acid (OA)/dinophysistoxin (DTX) analogues. At present, detailed data on the distribution of DST is insufficient, and studies of the appropriate sample sizes are lacking ...

Assimilation, Accumulation, and Metabolism of Dinophysistoxins (DTXs) and Pectenotoxins (PTXs) in the Several Tissues of Japanese Scallop Patinopecten yessoensis [PDF]
Japanese scallops, Patinopecten yessoensis, were fed with the toxic dinoflagellate Dinophysis fortii to elucidate the relative magnitude of assimilation, accumulation, and metabolism of diarrhetic shellfish toxins (DSTs) and pectenotoxins (PTXs).

Exploring cadmium-binding proteins in Japanese scallops Mizuhopecten yessoensis: isolation and characterization. [PDF]
Abstract Scallops (Mizuhopecten yessoensis) accumulate abnormal levels of cadmium (Cd) in their bodies; however, the chemical form of Cd in vivo remains unclear. In this study, Cd concentrations in various scallop tissues were measured, revealing that Cd predominantly accumulated as a water-soluble component within the midgut gland.
