Development of a nature-based solution for mitigation of Pacific oyster summer mortality: use of the intertidal zone to improve resilience to environmental stressors

Frontiers in Marine Science
In recent years, Pacific oyster growers in British Columbia (BC), Canada have experienced devastating losses due to summer mortality syndrome. While anecdotal evidence suggests that intertidally-grown oysters may fare better during mass mortality events ...

A Rhodopsin-Like Gene May Be Associated With the Light-Sensitivity of Adult Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas

Frontiers in Physiology, 2018
Light-sensitivity is important for mollusc survival, as it plays a vital role in reproduction and predator avoidance. Light-sensitivity has been demonstrated in the adult Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, but the genes associated with light-sensitivity ...

On-site biofouling removal enhances the nutritional and gustatory quality of oysters from suspension aquaculture and the recovery of essential biomolecules for human consumption

Aquaculture Reports
We experimentally tested the effects of on-site biofouling removal (BR) via heat treatment on the biomolecule contents of Pacific oysters and the bay-scale recovery of these biomolecules through the harvest of farmed oysters from suspension aquaculture ...

Futuristic Ocean Acidification Levels Reduce Growth and Reproductive Viability in the Pacific Oyster (Crassostrea gigas)

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2019
In this study, we investigated the effects of futuristic pH because of climate change on the growth and reproductive viability of the Pacific oysters. The futuristic pH levels to which adult oysters were exposed are 7.5 and 7.8 (as extreme case) and 8.1

Salinity influences disease-induced mortality of the oyster Crassostrea gigas and infectivity of the ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1)

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2016
Mortality of young Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas associated with the ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) is occurring worldwide. Here, we examined for the first time the effect of salinity on OsHV-1 transmission and disease-related mortality of C.
