Different food particle sources in the pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera and its epibionts
Aquaculture Reports, 2021 Suspended bivalve culture (e.g. longlines) transfers benthic biomass - including bivalves and various epibionts - toward the water column, creating strong trophic interactions with the planktonic compartment.

Colour or no colour in the juvenile shell of the black lip pearl oyster, Pinctada margaritifera? [PDF]
Aquatic Living Resources, 2012 Pinctada margaritifera mollusc is cultivated in French Polynesia for the production of black pearls. For this study, the colour of juvenile samples (48 days old) was investigated in the visible range spectra (430–700 nm) using spectrophotometry. A first measurement was done with the soft parts still inside the shell (entire animal).

Identification of calconectin, a calcium‐binding protein specifically expressed by the mantle of Pinctada margaritifera [PDF]
FEBS Letters, 2006 Nacre or mother‐of‐pearl in the shell of Pinctada margaritifera is composed of 95–99% calcium carbonate and 1–5% organic matrix. In this study, we developed an original technique to characterize the genes differentially expressed in nacre‐forming cells (NFC) by combining suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH), to establish a cDNA subtractive ...
