A StAR‐like gene involved in carotenoid metabolism and inner shell color in the freshwater pearl mussel, Hyriopsis cumingii

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 53, Issue 4, Page 848-859, August 2022., 2022
Abstract Carotenoids play key roles in organism coloration and have been found to have an effect on shell color. Steroidogenic acute regulatory protein‐like (StAR‐like) is a key gene involved in the accumulation of carotenoids. In this study, the full‐length cDNA sequence of HcStAR‐like, containing 994 nucleotides with an open reading frame encoding ...

Byssal re‐attachment behavior in the winged pearl oyster Pteria penguin in response to low salinity levels

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 52, Issue 2, Page 457-465, April 2021., 2021
Abstract The effect of low salinity levels on byssal re‐attachment behavior in Pteria penguin juveniles was observed in the laboratory. Juvenile pearl oysters were submerged in seawater blended to 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, 20.0, 24.0, 28.0, and 32.0 salinity levels for a period of 48 hr. The sub‐lethal salinity level was greater than 20.0 psu. Although salinity

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.

Metabolomic analyses reveal the crucial metabolites involved in the transplantation response of pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

open access: yesAquaculture Reports, 2021
The immune response after transplantation during pearl production is a major factor that cause nucleus rejection and death of the host pearl oysters. To find out the crucial metabolites involved in the immune response after transplantation, we performed ...
