Transcriptome analysis reveals the transition and crosslinking of immune response and biomineralization in shell damage repair in pearl oyster

Aquaculture Reports, 2021
The exoskeleton outside the soft body in shelled Mollusca defends against physical damage and parasite invasion and frequently undergoes biological and abiotic disturbance in natural and farmed environments, causing shell damage and environmental ...

Hemolymph Acid-Base Balance of Akoya Pearl Oyster Pinctada fucata martensii with Cannulated Adductor Muscle in Normoxic Conditions [PDF]

, 2020
We collected the hemolymph anaerobically through a cannula inserted into the adductor muscle of Akoya pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii submerged in experimental seawater, and examined hemolymph pH, total CO2 concentration (Tco2), CO2 partial ...

Whole-genome bisulfite sequencing reveals the function of DNA methylation in the allotransplantation immunity of pearl oysters

Frontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionIn the pearl culture industry, a major challenge is the overactive immunological response in pearl oysters resulting from allotransplantation, leading to shell-bead rejection and death.

Protective effects of an aqueous extract from Pinctada fucata martensii mucus on ultraviolet A-induced skin photoaging: in vitro and in vivo evidence

Frontiers in Natural Products
Ultraviolet A (UVA) radiation is a primary extrinsic driver of skin photoaging, yet effective marine-derived photoprotective countermeasures remain underexplored.

The effects of cryoprotectants on sperm motility of the Chinese pearl oyster, Pinctada fucata martensii

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 ...

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

Genetic Control of Tissue Remodeling by a Non‐Coding SNP in ITGA8 Explains Carotenoid‐Based Color Polymorphism in Marine Mollusks

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 27, 13 May 2026.
In this study, the orange‐muscle giant abalone (Haliotis gigantea) is used as a model to identify a non‐coding SNP that disrupts the interaction between ITGA8 pre‐mRNA and the splicing factor ILF2, leading to altered ITGA8 splicing. These splicing changes promote carotenoid accumulation in abalone muscle through the regulation of tissue remodeling ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

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
