Effects of acidification on the proteome during early development of Babylonia areolata
FEBS Open Bio, Volume 9, Issue 9, Page 1503-1520, September 2019., 2019 Here, we used label‐free proteomics to study protein changes in response to acidified (pH 7.6) or ambient seawater (pH 8.1) during three larvae developmental stages of Babylonia areolata, a commercially important sea snail in China. Our results suggest that acidification seriously affects late veliger stage after attachment and the identified ...

Cryobiology, 2018 Cryopreservation has been widely employed to preserve genetic material of aquatic animals. Although of common use in bivalves, resulting effects due to the toxicity of the cryoprotectants dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), propanediol (PG), methanol (MET) and ethylene glycol (EG), upon sperm motility in the Chinese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii, has ...

Crustacean and Mollusc Shell Proteins: Origin, Structure, and Functionality
Journal of Food Science, Volume 91, Issue 5, May 2026.ABSTRACT Crustacean and molluscan processing as seafood generates a significant amount of shell waste annually, owing to the dense, mineral‐rich composition of the exoskeleton. Although valorization efforts have mostly focused on chitin and chitosan, the protein fraction remains underutilized despite its prominent nutritional, functional, and sensory ...

Aquaculture, 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
