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.

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.

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.

Reproductive Biology and Gross Biochemical Composition of Larkinia grandis (Bivalvia: Arcidae) in the Northwestern of the Mexican Pacific

International Journal of Zoology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The reproductive cycle of Larkinia grandis (Broderip and G.B. Sowerby I, 1829) from the NW Mexican Pacific was analyzed in relation to environmental variables, condition index (CI), and biochemical composition of different tissues. A total of 960 clams (80/month; 44.5–142.0 mm, shell height) were collected from the El Cohui estuary in the Navachiste ...
