Pearl Farming Micro-Nanoplastics Affect Oyster Physiology and Pearl Quality [PDF]

Environmental Science & Technology, 2023
Abstract Pearl farming is crucial for the economy of French Polynesia. Nonetheless, rearing structures contribute significantly to plastic waste, and the widespread contamination of pearl farming lagoons by microplastics has raised concerns about risks to the pearl industry. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of micro-nanoplastics

Evaluation of pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima) spawning using natural and artificial induction methods to increase the seed production [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
The increasing pearl jewelries production leads to an increasing demand for pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima) seeds of certain sizes. The induction spawning method is an important factor in producing pearl oyster seeds.

Comprehensive associations between pearl oyster beds and coral, seagrass, and algal habitats in the hottest sea on the planet

Frontiers in Marine Science
IntroductionPearl oyster ecosystems have played a central role in Bahrain’s marine economy and cultural heritage for centuries. Despite their ecological importance, systematic research on Bahrain’s pearl oyster beds is lacking since the early 1990s.

The pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) aquaculture in French Polynesia and the indirect impact of long-distance transfers and collection-culture site combinations on pearl quality traits

Aquaculture Reports, 2019
In French Polynesia, the P. margaritifera pearl aquaculture industry is spread over a vast area, as large as Europe. All the oysters for this the highly economically important activity are supplied from just a few collection lagoons, but they are grown ...

Cloning and functional characterization of PmΔ5FAD in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

Aquaculture Reports, 2022
Pinctada fucata martensii produces high-quality pearls. However, excess immune and inflammatory response after grafting operation will lead to nucleus rejection, pearl sac formation failure, and death of the host pearl oyster. Polyunsaturated fatty acids

An OD-Pearl for the EE-Oyster [PDF]

, 2017
Explaining the basics of Lowlands-SocioTechnical Systems Design (L-STSD) to the Enterprise Engineering community is the first goal of this contribution in order to show how it fits with EE. Then, a first attempt is made to link L-STSD to basic EE insights gained so far.

Finding Pearls in London's Oysters [PDF]

Built Environment, 2016
Public transport is perhaps the most significant component of the contemporary smart city currently being automated using sensor technologies that generate data about human behaviour. This is largely due to the fact that the travel associated with such transport is highly ordered.

The Late Agricultural Development of Central Arabian Oases—Archaeobotanical and Archaeozoological Studies of the al‐Kharj Oasis

Arabian Archaeology and Epigraphy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While oasis settlements emerged during the Bronze Age in Eastern and Northern Arabia, the settlement process in Central Arabia was different. Excavations at al‐Yamāma—main ancient settlement of the al‐Kharj oasis (Riyadh Province, KSA)—suggest that the latter did not emerge before the second half of the first millennium BCE.

Field Experiments, Behavioral Analyses, and Digestive Physiology Reveal the Selective Oyster-Feeding Strategy of Thais luteostoma

Animals
Pearl oyster aquaculture is severely constrained by biofouling organisms, particularly fouling oysters, which substantially impair pearl oyster growth and farming efficiency.

Macau as Method: Recombinant Urbanism in Post‐Socialist China

Asia Pacific Viewpoint, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In ‘Asia as Method’, Chen Kuan‐Hsing argues for the value of an indigenous inter‐Asian approach to analysing the effects of European imperialism on the countries and citizens of Asia. This article mobilises both Chen's inter‐Asian referencing strategy and the city‐state of Macau to explore Macau's role in China's engagements with global ...
