Biochemical Polymorphism in the Pacific Oyster-III
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 ...

Entering the Era of Directly Supporting Society With Observation‐Based Ocean Acidification Data
Abstract Ocean acidification is a growing concern for many nations around the world. However, our capacity to monitor changes in carbonate chemistry with sufficient spatial and temporal resolution, has until now, been limited, which has impeded effective action and decision‐making at international, national, and regional levels.

ABSTRACT There is growing interest in the co‐culture of macroalgae and filter‐feeding bivalves due to anticipated trophic benefits that may enhance the productivity of both organisms. Detritus from cultured macroalgae has the potential to supplement bivalve diets, yet few studies have directly examined this relationship in co‐culture systems.

ABSTRACT Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss, causing profound and often irreversible ecological changes. Among these invaders, the brown alga Rugulopteryx okamurae provides a striking example. Since its arrival in 2016 in Calanques National Park (Marseille, southern France), it has drastically transformed underwater landscapes

ABSTRACT Gold discoveries transformed the 19th century British colony of Queensland, Australia, driving migration, a second wave of pastoral expansion northwards, and an increasingly diverse population. This study presents a comparative and contextual zooarchaeological analysis of British and southern Chinese food waste—globally significant migrant ...

Functional Analysis on Shelk2 of Pacific Oyster [PDF]
Shelk2, a novel shell matrix protein from the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, is reported to be involved in shell biosynthesis of the prismatic layer. Results of RNAi experiment on shelk2 showed that Shelk2 has a key role in shell regeneration. When dsRNA of shelk2 was injected into the adductor muscle of Pacific oyster, the prismatic layer did not ...

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

This work investigates how two factors (food and temperature) affect the metabolic rates of the larval stages of ecologically important coral‐eating crown‐of‐thorns sea star (Acanthaster sp.). Warming increased metabolic rates, with oxygen consumption at raised temperatures compared to control. After accounting for larval size, feeding had no effect on

Temperature Alters Specificity in a Host–Parasite Interaction
The Red Queen Hypothesis predicts that host–parasite coevolution maintains genetic variation through strong genetic specificity, but this specificity may be sensitive to environmental conditions. Using Meloidogyne arenaria and its parasite Pasteuria penetrans, we tested host–parasite interactions across three temperatures and found specificity at two ...

IntroductionThe Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), one of the major aquaculture shellfish worldwide, has strong environmental adaptability. However, genetic diversity and population structure of the Pacific oysters in Dalian Sea, the major natural and ...
