Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
