Oysters are one of the most commercially important shellfish species and have been
cultured for thousands of years. Oyster aquaculture supports the major aquaculture …

Oysters have been recognized as ecological engineers for aquatic ecosystems, as oyster
reefs provide critical habitats and foraging locations for other marine species. In the past few …

Due to lack of acquired immune system, the oysters cultured along coasts are subject to
frequent pathogen threats, which leads to severe disease outbreaks around the world. It's …

Abstract Aquaculture of Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) around the world is stymied by
mortality events triggered by Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1). In Tomales Bay, California …

Pacific oyster (crassostrea gigas) is an economically important farmed oyster species which
is now severely threatened by summer mortality all over the world. Selective breeding for …

Abstract Ostreid herpesvirus 1 (OsHV-1) is one of the most economically important
pathogens of Pacific oysters. Understanding the pathogenesis of this virus is critical to …

Abstract Genotype-by-environment (GxE) interaction in aquaculture is usually estimated for
continuous traits and based on data from a limited number of 2–3 rearing sites. Here we …

Marine bivalves account for roughly 14% of aquaculture production worldwide and ca. 33%
of this production is represented by oysters. A number of disease-causing agents of oysters …

A key aspect of selective breeding programs is whether the traits of interest respond similarly
in different environments. The magnitude of the genotype by environment (G× E) interaction …

In order to assess the heterosis of the hybrid between the selected lines and develop a new
hybrid variety of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) with excellent survival and growth …
