Wild populations of Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) emerge during the blob heatwave in south Puget Sound, Washington USA

Frontiers in Marine Science
Marine heatwaves have altered ecosystems globally, including changing community composition and facilitating the spread of invasive species. In south Puget Sound, Washington (USA), non-native Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) have been farmed extensively

Field tests of trophic interactions between non-native European green crabs (Carcinus maenas) and non-native clams along an estuarine gradient [PDF]

Aquatic Invasions
Estuaries are highly invaded ecosystems exhibiting many novel species interactions. This project addressed how predation from native and non-native crabs influences density of non-native clams along an estuarine gradient in Willapa Bay (Washington, USA).

Diversity of Ascetosporeans Associated With Feather Hydroids in New Caledonia

Journal of Eukaryotic Microbiology, Volume 73, Issue 6, November/December 2026.
ABSTRACT Ascetosporea is a group of parasitic protists within Endomyxa that primarily infect marine invertebrates and can cause serious damage to fishery resources such as oysters and prawns. Although approximately 50 species have been formally described, environmental DNA (eDNA) studies suggest that their diversity remains largely underestimated, with

Introduction, establishment and expansion of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in the Oosterschelde (SW Netherlands) [PDF]

, 2009
The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas was first introduced as an exotic species by oyster farmers in 1964 in the Oosterschelde estuary (SW Netherlands). The initial phase is not well documented but first natural spatfall was recorded in 1975.

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Early‐Stage Distribution of the Invasive Alga Rugulopteryx okamurae on the Catalan Coast: First Quantitative Baseline

Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT The non‐indigenous brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae has rapidly expanded across the eastern Atlantic and the western Mediterranean Sea. The first record on the Catalan coast (NW Mediterranean) was in July 2024 in Llançà (Girona), followed by additional detections at nearby localities.

Microbial education plays a crucial role in harnessing the beneficial properties of microbiota for infectious disease protection in Crassostrea gigas

Scientific Reports
The increase in marine diseases, particularly in economically important mollusks, is a growing concern. Among them, the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) production faces challenges from several diseases, such as the Pacific Oyster Mortality Syndrome ...
