The complete mitochondrial genome of Saccostrea malabonensis (Ostreida: Ostreidae): characterization and phylogenetic position [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2022 The taxonomy of the genus Saccostrea is very confused, however, there is relatively little molecular information available on Saccostrea. In this study, we determined and described for the first time the complete mitochondrial genome of Saccostrea ...

Genetic Variability in Mediterranean Coastal Ecosystems: Insights into Ostrea spp. (Bivalvia: Ostreidae) [PDF]
BiologyOysters are sessile, filter-feeding bivalve molluscs widely distributed in estuarine and coastal habitats worldwide. They constitute a valuable resource for fisheries and extensive aquaculture and provide essential ecological services. Yet, their genetic

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Alectryonella plicatula (Bivalvia: Ostreidae) [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2021 In this study, we sequenced and analyzed the complete mitochondrial genome of Alectryonella plicatula (Gmelin 1791), the newly determined mitochondrial genome is 18225 bp in length, it is a circular molecule and consists of 12 protein-coding genes (atp8 ...

On the species identity of a tropical oyster (Bivalvia, Ostreidae, Dendostrea) invading the eastern Mediterranean Sea [PDF]
ZooKeysMolecular and morphological data suggest that the Mediterranean populations of the non-indigenous genus Dendostrea are part of a single clade. This clade includes oysters from Rodrigues but is distinct from oysters from Hawaii and Mauritius.

The complete mitochondrial genome of Hyotissa sinensis (Bivalvia, Ostreoidea) indicates the genetic diversity within Gryphaeidae [PDF]
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2023 Different from the true oyster (family Ostreidae), the molecular diversity of the gryphaeid oyster (family Gryphaeidae) has never been sufficiently investigated.

The genome sequence of the European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis (Linnaeus, 1758) [version 1; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
Wellcome Open Research, 2023 We present a genome assembly from an individual Ostrea edulis (the European flat oyster; Mollusca; Bivalvia; Ostreida; Ostreidae). The genome sequence is 894.8 megabases in span. Most of the assembly is scaffolded into 10 chromosomal pseudomolecules. The

Molecular detection of parasites (Trematoda, Digenea: Bucephalidae and Monorchiidae) in the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis (Mollusca: Bivalvia) [PDF]
The European Zoological Journal, 2018 Members of the globally distributed bivalve family Ostreidae (oysters) have a significant role in marine ecosystems and include species of high economic importance. In this work, we report the occurrence of digenean parasites of the families Bucephalidae

Mitogenome data sequence of a mangrove oyster of interest for cultivation in Ecuador: Crassostrea sp. (Bivalvia: Ostreidae). [PDF]
Data BriefOstreids are one of the most exploited groups in aquaculture worldwide. In Ecuador, where aquaculture is dominated by Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei, the introduction of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in 1990 aimed to diversify the industry ...
