Byssal re‐attachment behavior in the winged pearl oyster Pteria penguin in response to low salinity levels [PDF]
The effect of low salinity levels on byssal re‐attachment behavior in Pteria penguin juveniles was observed in the laboratory. Juvenile pearl oysters were submerged in seawater blended to 8.0, 12.0, 16.0, 20.0, 24.0, 28.0, and 32.0 salinity levels for a ...

Spatio-Temporal Variation in Growth Performance and Condition of the Winged Pearl Oyster Pteria penguin [PDF]
Environmental conditions can strongly influence the growth performance of pearl oysters and affect pearl farm production schedules. Growth and condition index (CI) of two age cohorts of Pteria penguin were measured for 13 months to investigate ...

Effects of sea depths and sizes of winged pearl oysters (Pteria penguin) on pearl culture [PDF]
Environmental aspects and biology of pearl oysters are the important conditions affecting pearl production. In order to obtain commercially valuable pearl from winged pearl oysters, Pteria penguin, three sizes (shell-length) of the oysters: small (130 ...

Diversified Biomineralization Roles of Pteria penguin Pearl Shell Lectins as Matrix Proteins [PDF]
Previously, we isolated jacalin-related lectins termed PPL2, PPL3 (PPL3A, 3B and 3C) and PPL4 from the mantle secretory fluid of Pteria penguin (Mabe) pearl shell. They showed the sequence homology with the plant lectin family, jacalin-related β-prism fold lectins (JRLs).
