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 ...

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 ...

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

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.

Chromosome complement of the Indian pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (Gould) [PDF]

, 1987
The chromosome number (n = 14, 2n = 28) of the Indian pearl oyster Pinctada fucata (Gould) is reported for the first time. It conforms with *he chromosome number reported for P. fucata martensii from Japan and P. imhricata from the Atlantic.

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 ...

DataSheet1_DNA Methylation Analyses Unveil a Regulatory Landscape in the Formation of Nacre Color in Pearl Oyster Pinctada fucata martensii.xlsx

, 2022
Pearl color is regulated by genetics, biological pigments, and organic matrices and an important factor that influences the pearl economic value. The epigenetic regulation mechanism underlying pearl pigmentation remains poorly understood.
