Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies

Development of long-term oyster tissue cultures reveals cellular plasticity, regenerative potential, and sustained physiological activity

Native Olympia Oysters in San Francisco Bay: Microbiome and Antimicrobial Resistance Derived Insights Into Restoration

The paper uses shotgun metagenomics to analyze microbiomes and antimicrobial resistance in San Francisco Bay oysters, finding that matrix type, not location, structures microbiomes and biofilms are AMR hotspots.

Shedding light on day-night habitat use of oyster reefs by fish

This study investigates day-night habitat use of fish on oyster reefs and unstructured habitats, finding greater diversity during the day and diel shifts in species composition.

Prevalence of hemic neoplasia in cockles and co-habiting bivalve species in the western coast of France and the southern coast of Portugal.

This study examines the prevalence of hemic neoplasia in cockles and co-habiting bivalve species in France and Portugal, finding species-specific transmission and no size differences between infected and uninfected cockles.

Optimizing Oyster Breeding with Machine Learning and BigData for Superior Quality

This paper uses machine learning and multi-omics data to optimize oyster breeding, reducing winter mortality and improving growth rates through marker-assisted selection and predictive algorithms.

Characterisation of Marteilia cocosarum in the Wash Estuary, UK, linked to mass mortalities of cockles (Cerastoderma edule), and its relationship to closely related species

The paper investigates Marteilia cocosarum infection in cockles in The Wash Estuary, UK, linking it to mass mortalities and identifying genetic differences from a Welsh genotype.

Cryopreservation of Juvenile Mytilus galloprovincialis: Safeguarding Mollusk Biodiversity and Aquaculture

This paper develops a cryopreservation protocol for juvenile Mytilus galloprovincialis, enabling the preservation of complex larval stages and juveniles, with implications for biodiversity conservation and aquaculture sustainability.

A novel method for in vivo assessment of soft tissue weight in bivalves

The paper develops a novel method to estimate soft tissue weight in bivalves using shell surface area, outperforming traditional models in accuracy and bias reduction.

Planktonic oyster larvae optimize settlement decisions in complex sensory landscapes

This study examines how Pacific oyster larvae make settlement decisions in response to multiple chemical cues, showing additive effects of attractants and suppression of repellents when substrates are present.

Transcriptome characterization of the common cockle (Cerastoderma edule) after exposure to a Marteilia cochillia outbreak

The paper characterizes the transcriptome of the common cockle after exposure to Marteilia cochillia, identifying differentially expressed genes and their molecular functions related to immune response.

Genetic analysis identifies the Ostrea stentina/aupouria/equestris oyster species complex in Hawai'i, and resolves its lineage as the western Pacific O. equestris

The paper uses genetic sequencing to identify oyster species in Hawai'i, finding most unknown samples belong to the Ostrea stentina/aupouria/equestris complex and confirming the presence of O. equestris in the region.
