Embryonic Hormetic Priming Modulates Later‐Life Thermal Tolerance [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.This study investigates how early‐life thermal environments affect later thermal tolerance in the black‐lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera. Developmental thermal priming had contrasting, family‐specific effects on thermal tolerance, with conserved stress‐response pathways but evidence of priming‐induced regulatory network reorganization.

Immune Memory-like Responses of Akoya Pearl Oyster to Pinctada Birnavirus [PDF]
PathogensAmong accumulating knowledge of invertebrate immune-like responses, antiviral mechanisms in mollusks remain poorly understood. Pinctada birnavirus (PiBV) infects the mantle epithelial cells of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata), causing mass mortality of

The plate collector, a new option for Pinctada margaritifera spat collection in French Polynesia
Aquaculture Reports, 2022 The aquaculture industry can constitute an important source of waste in the environment. In atoll lagoons of French Polynesia, among the materials used by pearl farmers, shade-mesh collectors can release toxic substances and are responsible of ...

Histopathology of oedema in pearl oysters Pinctada maxima [PDF]
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2010 In October 2006, severe mortalities (80 to 100%) were reported in pearl oyster Pinctada maxima production farms from Exmouth Gulf, Western Australia. Only P. maxima were affected; other bivalves including black pearl oysters P. margaratifera remained healthy. Initial investigations indicated that the mortality was due to an infectious process, although

A homeodomain transcription factor gene, PfMSX, activates expression of Pif gene in the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 We reported pearl oyster Pinctada fucata cDNA and genomic characterization of a new homeobox-containing protein, PfMSX. The PfMSX gene encodes a transcription factor that was localized to the nucleus.
