Delaware Inland Bays and Market Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Quality for Consumption

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
Consumption of raw oysters is known to cause serious health conditions due to bioaccumulation of contaminants. As filter feeders, oysters ingest bacteria along with phytoplankton from their surrounding habitats. Ensuring seafood safety for human consumption is always a concern.

Lipid Components of the Cultured Pearl Oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii) in Korea [PDF]

Fisheries and aquatic sciences, 2005
Protein, lipid classes, and fatty acid composition, including n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFAs), were analyzed in the soft parts, which we differentiated as the adductor muscles and 'other portions,' from the cultured pearl oyster after the pearl was harvested and before the nucleus was grafted to evaluate the nutritional qualities of the soft

Mapping molluscan endocrinology: a systematic and critical appraisal

Biological 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 ...

Seasonal Changes in Glycogen Contents in Various Tissues of the Edible Bivalves, Pen Shell Atrina lischkeana, Ark Shell Scapharca kagoshimensis, and Manila Clam Ruditapes philippinarum in West Japan

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2015, Issue 1, 2015., 2015
The types of tissues accumulating glycogen and seasonal changes in glycogen content were investigated in the following shell species: pen shell Atrina lischkeana, ark shell Scapharca kagoshimensis, and Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum. Comparison of the results showed that the adductor muscle or foot was the main glycogen reservoir and the levels ...

A cDNA Cloning of a Novel Alpha‐Class Tyrosinase of Pinctada fucata: Its Expression Analysis and Characterization of the Expressed Protein

Enzyme Research, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Tyrosinase plays an important role in the formation of the shell matrix and melanin synthesis in mollusks shells. A cDNA clone encoding a 47 kDa protein was isolated from the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata. The cDNA was 1,957 base pairs long and encodes a 417 residue protein that has extensive sequence identity with tyrosinase (polyphenol oxidase: EC 1 ...

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

Aquaculture, 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

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

Aquaculture 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.

Increased histone H3 acetylation inhibit the inflammatory response and activate the serum immunity of Pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
To produce cultured pearls, a mantle graft with a nucleus is transplanted into a host pearl oyster, this process is called “transplantation”. The immune response of pearl oyster after transplantation is a major factor that leads to nucleus rejection and ...

Unravelling Hypoxia Tolerance: Transcriptomic and Metabolic Insights From Lucinoma capensis in an Oxygen Minimum Zone

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 24, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The lucinid clam Lucinoma capensis thrives at the oxygen minimum zone margins in the Benguela Upwelling System, where oxygen levels fluctuate dramatically. Understanding its adaptation to such extreme conditions provides key insights into survival strategies under fluctuating oxygen availability.
