Effect of maternal exposure to tributyltin on reproduction of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii).
We examined the effect of tributyltin (TBT) on reproduction of the pearl oyster (Pinctada fucata martensii). In a maternal exposure test, five female pearl oysters were exposed to TBT at measured concentrations of 0 (control), 0.092, or 0.191 microg/L at 25 degreesC for one week, and the embryo developmental success (the ratio of normal D-larvae to all larvae) was measured. The embryo developme...
متن کاملThe pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii genome and multi-omic analyses provide insights into biomineralization
Nacre, the iridescent material found in pearls and shells of molluscs, is formed through an extraordinary process of matrix-assisted biomineralization. Despite recent advances, many aspects of the biomineralization process and its evolutionary origin remain unknown. The pearl oyster Pinctada fucata martensii is a well-known master of biomineralization, but the molecular mechanisms that underlie...
متن کاملDraft Genome of the Pearl Oyster Pinctada fucata: A Platform for Understanding Bivalve Biology
The study of the pearl oyster Pinctada fucata is key to increasing our understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in pearl biosynthesis and biology of bivalve molluscs. We sequenced ~1150-Mb genome at ~40-fold coverage using the Roche 454 GS-FLX and Illumina GAIIx sequencers. The sequences were assembled into contigs with N50 = 1.6 kb (total contig assembly reached to 1024 Mb) and scaff...
متن کاملGenetic linkage map of the pearl oyster, Pinctada martensii (Dunker)
Genetic linkage maps were constructed with ampli¢ed fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) and microsatellite markers for the pearl oyster, Pinctada martensii (Dunker), the main bivalve used for marine pearl production in Asia. Twenty-four AFLP and 84 microsatellite primer pairs were used for linkage analysis in a full-sib family with two parents and 78 o¡spring. Of the 2357 AFLP fragments generat...
متن کاملMass mortalities associated with a virus disease in Japanese pearl oysters Pinctada fucata martensii
The annual mortality of cultured Japanese pearl oysters Pinctada fucata martensii in all western regions of Japan was over 400 million in both 1996 and 1997. The main pathological signs of the diseased oysters were atrophy in the adductor muscle, the mantle lobe and the body accompanied by a yellowish to brown coloration. Histological studies revealed necrosis and degeneration of muscle fibers ...
