Biological Reviews, Volume 95, Issue 6, Page 1812-1837, December 2020., 2020 ABSTRACT Most molluscs possess shells, constructed from a vast array of microstructures and architectures. The fully formed shell is composed of calcite or aragonite. These CaCO3 crystals form complex biocomposites with proteins, which although typically less than 5% of total shell mass, play significant roles in determining shell microstructure ...

Can the Movement of the Deep‐Sea Bivalve Acesta excavata Lead to a Dynamic Habitat?
Marine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 3, May/June 2025.ABSTRACT Acesta excavata is one of the largest and ecologically relevant bivalves along continental margins and is often associated with cold‐water coral assemblages of the upper bathyal zone. Like other habitat‐forming species, A. excavata contributes to increasing the secondary substrata and provides opportunities for the colonization and feeding of ...

Revista de Biología Marina y Oceanografía, 2023 Atlantic pearl oyster Pinctada imbricata is a bivalve with high potential for cultivation in tropical and subtropical environments. In this study, P. imbricata energetic metabolism was analyzed throughout a culture cycle at Gulf of Cariaco, Venezuela. Juvenile individuals (shell length 27.40 ± 2.70 mm) were cultured in a long line at 3 m depth between ...

Aquaculture Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.A feeding trial was conducted to assess the impact of a microalgal diet and a natural diet on the growth performance, water quality, nutrition, and survival of the edible oyster, Saccostrea cucullata. Four experimental diets, designated as “Chl” (100% Chlorella vulgaris), “Chaeto” (100% Chaetoceros gracilis), “Chl + Chaeto” (50% C.

Reproductive biology of the rayed pearl oyster (Pinctada imbricata radiata, Leach 1814) in Izmir Bay
Oceanological and Hydrobiological Studies, 2021 Abstract The present study was carried out to determine gonadal stages and quality of pearl oyster meat (Pinctada imbricata radiata, Leach, 1814) in Izmir Bay (Turkey). Pearl oyster samples were collected from the study area at a depth of ~5 m between February 2013 and January 2014. The highest and lowest temperature was measured in July
