Marine heatwaves impact mortality of triploid Pacific oysters

Global Change Biology, 2023
Studies of heatwave impacts on marine organisms are needed to understand biological tolerance to heat stress. Such studies should include integrative analyses across different levels of biological organization, which often reveal that predictions are non‐linear (e.g., gene–protein–physiology–organism).

Anti-Inflammatory Activity of β-thymosin Peptide Derived from Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas) on NO and PGE₂ Production by Down-Regulating NF-κB in LPS-Induced RAW264.7 Macrophage Cells

Marine Drugs, 2019
β-thymosin is known for having 43 amino acids, being water-soluble, having a light molecular weight and ubiquitous polypeptide. The biological activities of β-thymosin are diverse and include the promotion of wound healing, reduction of ...

Discovering a model Pacific oyster for sustainable aquaculture production and sales optimisation in southern Australia

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
The Pacific oyster is prominent in global food security and the blue economy. As an unfed aquaculture species, the oyster offers substantial potential to contribute to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals related to hunger, health, and employment.

A review of the historic and present ecological role of aquatic and shoreline wood, from forest to deep sea

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The ecology of forests, their losses, and terrestrial wood decomposition dynamics have been intensively studied and reviewed. In the aquatic realm, reviews have concentrated on large wood (LW) in rivers and the transition from freshwater to marine environments in the Pacific Northwest of North America. However, a comprehensive global synthesis

The impacts of biological invasions

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The Anthropocene is characterised by a continuous human‐mediated reshuffling of the distributions of species globally. Both intentional and unintentional introductions have resulted in numerous species being translocated beyond their native ranges, often leading to their establishment and subsequent spread – a process referred to as biological

Immune-suppression by OsHV-1 viral infection causes fatal bacteraemia in Pacific oysters

Nature Communications, 2018
Pacific oyster mortality syndrome is a poorly understood cause of mortality in commercially important oyster species. Here, the authors use multiple infection experiments to show that the syndrome is caused by sequential infection by herpesvirus and ...

Extraction and Identification of the Pigment in the Adductor Muscle Scar of Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
In this study, UV (ultraviolet) and IR (infrared radiation) spectral analysis were integrated to identify the pigment in the adductor muscle scar of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. The pigment was extracted from the adductor muscle scars of cleaned
