Whole transcriptome sequencing and biomineralization gene architecture associated with cultured pearl quality traits in the pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera [PDF]
BMC Genomics, 2019 Background Cultured pearls are unique gems produced by living organisms, mainly molluscs of the Pinctada genus, through the biomineralization properties of pearl sac tissue. Improvement of P.

Comparative transcriptomics identifies genes underlying growth performance of the Pacific black-lipped pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera [PDF]
BMC GenomicsBackground In bivalves, the rate at which organisms grow is a major functional trait underlying many aspects of their commercial production. Growth is a highly polygenic trait, which is typically regulated by many genes with small to moderate effects ...

Response of the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera to cadmium and chromium: Identification of molecular biomarkers [PDF]
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2017 This study was designed to identify in the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera, used as a bio-accumulator, molecular biomarkers for the presence of heavy metals in the lagoon environment. Pearl oysters were exposed to 2 concentrations (1 and 10μgL-1) of cadmium (Cd) and chromium (Cr) compared to a control.

Larval dispersal modeling of pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera following realistic environmental and biological forcing in Ahe atoll lagoon. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Studying the larval dispersal of bottom-dwelling species is necessary to understand their population dynamics and optimize their management. The black-lip pearl oyster (Pinctada margaritifera) is cultured extensively to produce black pearls, especially ...

A Parallel Population Genomic and Hydrodynamic Approach to Fishery Management of Highly-Dispersive Marine Invertebrates: The Case of the Fijian Black-Lip Pearl Oyster Pinctada margaritifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Fishery management and conservation of marine species increasingly relies on genetic data to delineate biologically relevant stock boundaries. Unfortunately for high gene flow species which may display low, but statistically significant population ...

Optimal age of the donor graft tissue in relation to cultured pearl phenotypes in the mollusc, Pinctada margaritifera. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Ageing is defined as the progressive decline in tissue and organ functions over time. This study aims to evaluate the ageing effect on cultured pearl quality phenotypes (including size and quality traits) in the graft-recipient animal model: Pinctada ...

Investigating Dissolved Glucose as an Alternative Nutrient Source for Bivalve Larvae [PDF]
Aquaculture Nutrition, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.The production of live microalgae represents a major cost in the operation of bivalve hatcheries, as it is the primary food used for larval rearing. This study investigated whether dissolved glucose could reduce the reliance on live microalgae as a sole feed input without negatively affecting bivalve larval performance during the rearing of Greenshell™
