Biochemical and molecular characterization of N66 from the shell of Pinctada mazatlanica [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Mollusk shell mineralization is a tightly controlled process made by shell matrix proteins (SMPs). However, the study of SMPs has been limited to a few model species.

A shell matrix protein of Pinctada mazatlanica produces nacre platelets in vitro [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
AbstractNacre is the main component of the pearl oyster shells and it is synthesized by specialized soluble and insoluble shell matrix proteins. Insoluble proteins from the decalcification of the shell are the less studied proteins due to the technical problems to isolate them from the organic matrix.

Efficacy of calcein and Coomassie Blue dyeing of shell growing-edges and micro growth-bands: Ageing juvenile of Pinctada mazatlanica (Pterioida: Pteriidae)

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2014
Age validation is the first step to determine shellfish species age determination. This information is vital for different inferential models used in marine ecosystem management activities. In spite that various validation techniques are used for marking

In situ growth of pearl oysters Pinctada mazatlanica (Hanley 1856) and Pteria sterna (Gould 1851) under repopulation conditions at Bahia de La Paz, Baja California Sur, Mexico

Aquaculture Research, 1997
Pearl oysters Pinctada mazatlanica (Hanley 1856) and Pteria sterna (Gould 1851) were studied for an annual cycle of in situ growth from May 1992 to April 1993. Organisms generated from extensive culture were kept under repopulation conditions at Caleta El Merito. Growth measurements of shell height and length were taken monthly. Data were used to build

Evaluation of bivalve spat recruitment in artificial collectors to identify potential species for small-scale farming in the north Pacific coast of Colombia

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Decreases in fish stocks have led to new resource research, particularly in the Colombian Pacific where only a few species have traditionally been exploited. Among commercial species, bivalves are commonly implemented in small-scale aquaculture and their

Microplastic occurrence and effects in commercially harvested North American finfish and shellfish: Current knowledge and future directions

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 5, Issue 1, Page 113-136, February 2020., 2020
Abstract Commercial fisheries yield essential foods, sustain cultural practices, and provide widespread employment around the globe. Commercially harvested species face a myriad of anthropogenic threats including degraded habitats, changing climate, overharvest, and pollution.

[Growth and mortality of the mother-of-pearl Pinctada mazatlanica in natural populations of the east coast of Baja California Sur, Mexico].

Revista de biologia tropical, 2009
The Mexican Pacific mother-of-pearl Pinctada mazatlanica was placed in forbidden fisheries status for the Mexican Federal Government and considered in extinction danger since 1939. This decree was modified in 1994 to allow the capture of spat for research or marine culture.

Investigación aplicada al acondicionamiento gonadal y reproducción de la madreperla de Calafia, Pinctada mazatlanica (Hanley, 1856) en el laboratorio [PDF]

Revista de biología marina y oceanografía, 2001
The genus Pinctada is used in commercial pearl farming worldwide. In this activity, a piece of mantle tissue from a donor’s paleal zone is implanted within the gonad of other receiver pearl oysters. However, this method has proved to be inefficient in commercial pearling activities.

Benthic Macrofauna Associated with Submerged Bottoms of a Tectonic Estuary in Tropical Eastern Pacific

Journal of Marine Sciences, Volume 2011, Issue 1, 2011., 2011
The composition and distribution of the main associations of submerged macrobenthos of Bahía Málaga (Colombian pacific coast), were studied in relation to the distribution of hard and soft substrates and some abiotic factors. Eight localities were sampled during six months: three in the external border of the estuary and five in the inner part.
