The benthic sea-silk-thread displacement of a sessile bivalve, Pinctada imbricata radiata (Leach, 1819) in the Arabian-Persian Gulf. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
A number of molluscs within the Class Bivalvia are defined by their ability to secrete fine silk like threads known as byssus which are used to anchor themselves to solid substrates.

Stable isotopes in bivalves as indicators of nutrient source in coastal waters in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, Panama [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
To examine N-isotope ratios (15N/14N) in tissues and shell organic matrix of bivalves as a proxy for natural and anthropogenic nutrient fluxes in coastal environments, Pinctada imbricata, Isognomon alatus, and Brachidontes exustusbivalves were live ...

Intertidal Grow‐Out Technique, Not Eelgrass (Zostera marina), Influences Performance of Pacific Oysters (Magallana gigas)

open access: yesAquaculture Research, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023
Colocation of farmed shellfish in seagrass, although not permitted in some regions of the USA, has been proposed as a means to reach cobenefits of habitat and food production. Seagrass could benefit bivalves through protection from predation or abiotic stressors but conversely can reduce water flow and food delivery.

Comparative analysis of growth performance and survival of the West African mangrove oyster, Crassostrea tulipa (Lamarck, 1819) cultivated by suspension and bottom culture methods in the Densu Estuary, Ghana

open access: yesAquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 2, Issue 3, Page 233-242, June 2022., 2022
There was a significant difference (p < 0.001) between the growth rate of oysters cultured by suspension (1.02 ± 0.24 cm/month for oysters in the convex surface of the cultch, 1.00 ± 0.24 cm/month for those grown on the concave surface) and on the bottom (0.80 ± 0.23 cm/month and 0.81 ± 0.23 cm/month for oysters on convex and concave sides of the ...

Citizen scientists contributing to alien species detection: the case of fishes and mollusks in European marine waters

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2022., 2022
Abstract Citizen science (CS) expands the spatial and temporal scale of alien species records. As such, it has been recognized as a complementary tool in alien species management and large‐scale biodiversity conservation. The present study assessed the contribution of CS to the recording of marine alien fishes and mollusks in European marine waters by ...
