What do you mean, “seascape restoration”? Definitions and global practice

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine ecosystems is scaling up, fuelled by the growing recognition of the ecological and socio‐economic benefits sustained by nature and the need to recover what has been lost or degraded. Parallel to this, there is an increasing trend toward “multi‐species,” “multi‐habitat,” and “seascape” restoration projects ...

Systematic and Taxonomic Revision of Ostrea stentina Species Complex (Bivalvia: Ostreidae): New Insights From a Topotype‐Based Integrative Approach

Zoologica Scripta, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cryptic marine species complexes with plastic morphology, shallow divergence, and broad distributions are among the hardest taxonomic problems in zoology. The Ostrea stentina complex, reported across the Atlantic, Mediterranean, and Indo‐Pacific, is a striking example. We present the first topotype‐anchored integrative revision of this complex,

Influence of environment on the pathogenesis of Ostreid herpesvirus-1 (OsHV-1) infections in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) through differential microbiome responses

Heliyon, 2019
The oyster microbiome is thought to contribute to the pathogenesis of mass mortality disease in Pacific oysters, associated with OsHV-1. As filter-feeders, oysters host a microbiota that can be influenced by the estuarine environment.

Assessing Potential of Pearl Oyster, Pteria penguin, Spat Collection to Support Mabé Pearl Production in Tonga

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Reliable spat supply remains a key constraint for Mabé pearl farmers in the Pacific island nation of Tonga. This study evaluated the effect of deployment depth on Pteria penguin (Röding, 1798) spat recruitment and final shell size across seven sites in Vava'u, Kingdom of Tonga.

Using Discarded Shellfish From Aquaculture as Food for Rearing Juvenile Gloomy Octopus, Octopus tetricus

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 6, December 2026.
ABSTRACT A key bottleneck in the development of octopus aquaculture is the absence of formulated feeds that are readily consumed and fulfil their nutritional requirements. Until efficacious formulated feeds are developed, sustainably‐sourced natural seafood diets provide a potential viable alternative for octopus aquaculture.

Biochemical Polymorphism in the Pacific Oyster-III

NIPPON SUISAN GAKKAISHI, 1978
Genetic variations have previously been described in the myogen, est erases, tetrazolium oxidase, and leucine arninopeptidases in the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas. Some 900 specimens (35 lots) of the Pacific oyster, sampled from the wild populations off the Pacific and the Japan Sea coasts of Hokkaido, and off Iwate and Akita Prefectures, as well ...

Review of the fauna associated with wild and farmed mussels and oysters in the Mediterranean

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 6, Page 2634-2655, December 2026.
ABSTRACT Mussels and oysters are important ecosystem engineers which modify the physical and chemical characteristics of the environment and create habitats that support highly diverse associated communities. In the Mediterranean Sea, the native Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the European flat oyster Ostrea edulis, together the ...

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

, 2008
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.

The case for sequencing the Pacific oyster genome

Journal of Shellfish Research, 2005
An international community of biologists presents the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas as a candidate for genome sequencing. This oyster has global distribution and for the past several years the highest annual production of any freshwater or marine organism (4.2 million metric tons, worth $3.5 billion US).

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).
