Methods for Improving Settlement and Metamorphosis of Shelled Marine Mollusks in Aquaculture: A Review

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Settlement and metamorphosis are key developmental hurdles in marine mollusk aquaculture. Environmental signals (such as biofilms, algae, and signals from conspecifics) and biochemical pathways (including nitric oxide, thyroid hormones, catecholamines, and GABA) regulate the transition of larvae into benthic juveniles. Combining ecological observations

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 970-1002, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Historically, a vertebrate‐centric paradigm has framed our interpretation of molluscan endocrinology, with considerable research focusing on vertebrate‐type steroid hormones (e.g. oestrogens, testosterone). However, contradictory evidence on the occurrence of vertebrate‐type steroid hormones in molluscan tissues, and a lack of the specific ...

Evaluation of the Population Genetic Structure of Anadara tuberculosa (Mollusca, Bivalvia) in the Panamanian Pacific

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study analyzed the population genetics of Anadara tuberculosa (concha negra) in five Panamanian Pacific mangrove areas using the mitochondrial COI gene. We found high haplotypic diversity and low nucleotide diversity, a pattern that suggests a recent demographic expansion, which was supported by our neutrality tests and a star‐shaped haplotype ...

Genome‐Wide 6mA Map Unveils Epigenetic Adaptation in Deep‐Sea Limpet

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 4, April 2026.
Our study provides the first genome‐wide 6mA profile for any deep‐sea animal, uncovers its sophisticated, context‐dependent role in gene regulation, and functionally links this epigenetic mark to the adaptive pathways essential for deep‐sea survival.

Reliable Inference of Phylogenomic Relationship via Assembly‐Based Strategy Accommodating Raw Reads and Proteins

open access: yesMolecular Ecology Resources, Volume 26, Issue 3, April 2026.
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,

Salinity–temperature interaction drives metabolic and energetic changes in an Arctic crustacean

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
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 ...

Genomic Insights Into the Use of Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) as a Functional Feed Additive in Sustainable Aquaculture

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture is the fastest‐growing sector of animal food production, yet it faces increasing challenges in maintaining fish health and sustainability due to the widespread use of antibiotics and synthetic feed additives. Green tea (Camellia sinensis), a natural source of polyphenols and bioactive compounds, has gained attention as a functional

Long non-coding RNA LncMPEG1 responds to multiple environmental stressors by affecting biomineralization in pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Marine environmental change directly affects bivalve growth and survival. Exoskeleton formation, the main energy dissipation in the physiological metabolism, typically reflects the body growth of the bivalve.

Recombinant Proteins: A Molecular Tool to Understand Marine Adhesion and to Advance Biomaterials

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 3, 19 January 2026.
The production of recombinant proteins represents a fundamental step in the characterisation of marine invertebrate adhesives and in the development of bio‐inspired glues. The association of these proteins with other components such as ions, proteins, polysaccharides, or polymers enables the fabrication of biomaterials for various healthcare ...

Effects of a Plant Protein‐Based Diet on the Somatic Growth and Transcriptional Response of Oysters

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Food scarcity often leads to emaciation in offshore‐farmed oysters, thereby diminishing their marketability. Land‐based intensive fattening is an emerging strategy to improve oyster somatic growth, yet its broad implementation is constrained by the scarcity of effective and stable feed sources.
