Biochemical Studies on the Pearl-Oyster (Pinctada martensi)
The fresh meat was divided into 6 parts adductor muscle, internal organs, mantle, gill, pedestal and mucilage, and the glycogen contents were determined according to the season. Among the fresh meat, the glycogen content is largest in the adductor muscles. The glycogen content of the mantle, gill and pedestal remajns to be about the same throughout the

ABSTRACT Phylogenomics is a transformative approach in systematics, conservation biology, and biomedical research, enabling the inference of evolutionary relationships by leveraging hundreds to thousands of genes from genomic or transcriptomic data. However, acquiring high‐quality genomes and transcriptomes necessitates samples with intact DNA and RNA,

Multiple Twinning in Nacre and Aragonite
Electron backscatter diffraction map of a cluster of geologic aragonite, exhibiting single, double, and triple twins. The whole cluster is approximately 2 cm wide. Colors indicate crystal orientations, so that pixels where the a‐, b‐, and c‐axis is perpendicular to the image plane are green, red, and blue, respectively.

We report on the presence of the pearl oyster Pinctada imbricata radiata (Leach, 1814) in two sheltered areas of the island of Minorca, Maó Harbour and Fornells Bay. Shallow depths (0-1.5 m) have been surveyed by free diving.

Salinity–temperature interaction drives metabolic and energetic changes in an Arctic crustacean
Abstract The Arctic is shifting towards a prevalence of warm and more saline Atlantic‐like waters. These changes in the marine environment pose significant challenges for the ecophysiology of marine invertebrates. Here, we measured the metabolic enzyme activity of citrate synthase and lactate dehydrogenase, as well as the energy content and level of ...

A novel birnavirus identified as the causative agent of summer atrophy of pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata (Gould)) [PDF]
The Akoya pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata (Gould)) is the most important species for pearl cultivation in Japan. Mass mortality of 0-year-old juvenile oysters and anomalies in adults, known as summer atrophy, have been observed in major pearl farming areas

Precursor Mineral Phases of Forming Mollusk Shell Nacre: A Study of Hydrated Samples
Mineral, organic phase, and water are the essential components in mollusk shell nacre formation. Their interplay is not well understood, because the hydrated material is difficult to observe at high resolution, under close to native conditions. Forming nacre is studied using environmental and cryo‐electron microscopy and hydrated ACC phases, together ...

Chromosome complement of the Indian pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (Gould) [PDF]
The chromosome number (n = 14, 2n = 28) of the Indian pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (Gould) is reported for the first time. It conforms with *he chromosome number reported for P. fucata martensii from Japan and P. imhricata from the Atlantic.
