Physiological Impacts of a Newly Discovered Trematode Parasite on Its Host, the Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians) [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Parasites have the potential to impact aquaculture by degrading product quality, increasing mortality, and reducing fecundity. Previous research has identified a novel trematode parasite, Saccularina sp., infecting the gills of wild and cultured ...

Transcriptome analysis provides insight into adaptive mechanisms of scallops under environmental stress

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
High temperature and hypoxia greatly threaten marine life and aquaculture. Scallops, a diverse and ecologically important group of high economic value, mostly thrive in fluctuating environments, and are vulnerable to environmental stress.

Hybrid sterility in hermaphroditic Argopecten scallops: Mutated mitochondrial genes and abnormal expression of nuclear genes

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) are a commercially important bivalve species for fisheries and aquaculture in China, the USA, Peru and Chile, but their small size and serious inbreeding depression restrict the sustainable development of their ...

Healthy and moribund Zhikong scallops (Chlamys farreri) developed different viral communities during a mass mortality event [PDF]

mSystems
Viral assemblages of scallops are still relatively unknown. Here, metagenomic analysis was used to study virus communities in the gut of scallops to establish the first scallop virome data set (SVD); this contains 7,447 viral operational taxonomic units.

Scallop Theorem and Swimming at the Mesoscale [PDF]

Physical Review Letters, 2021
By synergistically combining modeling, simulation and experiments, we show that there exists a regime of self-propulsion in which the inertia in the fluid dynamics can be separated from that of the swimmer. This is demonstrated by the motion of an asymmetric dumbbell that, despite deforming in a reciprocal fashion, self-propagates in a fluid due to a ...

Molecular characteristics of IGF and IGF1R genes and their potential roles on longevity in two scallops with distinct lifespans

Aquaculture Reports, 2023
Bay scallops are commercially important bivalve species for aquaculture worldwide, but the serious inbreeding depression is decreasing their production. Some interspecific hybrids of bay scallops (Argopecten irradians irradians) and Peruvian scallops (A.

Scalloping of the Liver [PDF]

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2015
A 75-year-old woman who had breast cancer 7 years prior was admitted with abdominal pain and distention. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed marked ascites, omental caking, peritoneal thickening and implants, scalloping of the liver (Figs. 1 and 2), as well as an ovarian mass.

An In Vitro Comparison of the Digestibility and Gastrointestinal Fate of Scallops and Plant-Based Scallop Analogs

Foods, 2023
Concerns exist regarding the negative environmental impact and health risks associated with ocean fishing and aquaculture, such as stock depletion, pollution, biodiversity loss, and toxin presence.

Identification of a key gene StAR-like-3 responsible for carotenoids accumulation in the noble scallop Chlamys nobilis

Food Chemistry: Molecular Sciences, 2022
Carotenoids play important roles in living organisms. However, animals cannot synthesize carotenoids by themselves, and they must absorb and accumulate carotenoids from their diets in which some key genes are involved. In present study, a gene named StAR-

Heavy metals pollution and health risk assessment in farmed scallops: Low level of Cd in coastal water could lead to high risk of seafood

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Scallops are one of the most common bivalves, large-scale farmed in the coastal areas of China. Three species of scallops (Chlamys farreri, Argopecten irradians and Patinopecten yessoensis) from 10 samples sites along the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea ...
