Oysters are sessile filter feeders that live in close association with abundant and diverse
communities of microorganisms that form the oyster microbiota. In such an association …

Virus-induced genes were identified using suppression subtractive hybridisation (SSH) from
Pacific cupped oyster, Crassostrea gigas, haemocytes challenged by OsHV-1. A total of 304 …

Not all stress is stressful; instead, it appears that stress in the environment, below the
mutation threshold, is essential for many subtle manifestations of population structures and …

Healthy oysters are inhabited by abundant microbial communities that vary with

In-vivo studies were carried out to investigate the protective effect of a synthetic viral
analogue (poly I: C) against Ostreid herpes virus (OsHV-1 μvar). Pacific oysters (Crassostrea …

Zinc demonstrates protective and antioxidant properties at physiological levels, although
these characteristics are not attributed at moderate or high concentrations. Zinc toxicity has …

Marine organisms need to adapt in order to cope with the adverse effects of ocean
acidification and warming. Transgenerational exposure to CO 2 stress has been shown to …

Background Oysters have important ecological functions in their natural environment, acting
as global carbon sinks and improving water quality by removing excess nutrients from the …

To evaluate the functional effects of APS (Astragalus polysaccharide) on Furong crucian
carp, APS-supplemented diets (0.00%, 0.05%, 0.10% and 0.15%) were prepared and …
