Precursor Mineral Phases of Forming Mollusk Shell Nacre: A Study of Hydrated Samples
Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 17, 26 February 2026.Mineral, organic phase, and water are the essential components in mollusk shell nacre formation. Their interplay is not well understood, because the hydrated material is difficult to observe at high resolution, under close to native conditions. Forming nacre is studied using environmental and cryo‐electron microscopy and hydrated ACC phases, together ...

Mantle histology, histochemistry and ultrastructure of the pearl oysterPinctada margaritifera(L.) [PDF]
Aquatic Living Resources, 1992 The edge and isthmus of the mantle of Pinctada margaritifera (Mollusc, Bivalvia) were studied using light and electron microscopy from a morphological and histochemical point of view. Six areas with several subareas were differentiated in the mantle edge.

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 5, Issue 6, December 2025.ABSTRACT Relaxants are used in abalone aquaculture to facilitate handling, transport and grading stock, with minimal injury, stress, immune suppression and mortality. Benzocaine has been commonly used as an abalone relaxant but negative behavioural responses to exposure have been observed, and in some countries it has a withholding period, precluding ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.We investigated the genetic structure and parentage relationships within a nearly complete population of Atrina vexillum in Bora‐Bora. Using 30 microsatellite markers and spatially explicit sampling, we found strong family clustering despite the absence of overall population structure.

Environmental Microbiology, Volume 27, Issue 8, August 2025.The microbiome of the boring giant clam, Tridacna crocea, varies among tissues, with Endozoicomonas dominating most tissues and putative carotenoid‐producing bacteria (Rubritalea, Muricauda) enriched in the outer mantle. Using dark‐induced bleaching, we examined the impact of symbiont loss on bacterial communities and found that the overall bacterial ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.Climate change is known to affect all levels of biology, setting at risk ecological balance. Among other organisms' groups, aquatic inhabitants, and particularly bivalves, are expected to be influenced to a greater extent owing to their inability to move to more mild temperatures.

Morphometric measurements of pearl shell shells Pinctada margaritifera for aquarium cultivation
Jurnal Moluska Indonesia, 2022 The pearl oyster Pinctada margaritifera or the black-lipped oyster is one of the important species used in the pearl industry. The availability of natural pearl oyster seeds is limited, while exploitation is increasing. The purpose of this field work practice is to measure and observe the morphometric comparisons of Arakan, Mantehage Bango and Talengen

Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies
Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 17, Issue 3, June 2025.ABSTRACT Fish predation poses a significant challenge to bivalve aquaculture throughout the global range of production. However, the issue remains poorly understood, preventing the advance of effective interventions. Fish predation, especially on mussels in longline culture, can be severe and, in some instances, lead to crop losses of up to 100%, which

Aggregation Behaviour as an Adaptive Reproductive Strategy in a Marine Ecosystem Engineer
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 5, May 2025.Mussels play a key role in coastal ecosystems by forming dense aggregations that provide habitats and enhance biodiversity. Here, we showed that the mussel aggregation rate varies seasonally according to their reproductive cycle, increasing during gamete maturation and declining postspawning, supporting a reproductive function for this behaviour.
