Expression of candidate genes related to metabolism, immunity and cellular stress during massive mortality in the American oyster Crassostrea virginica larvae in relation to biochemical and physiological parameters.
Quantification of mRNA of genes related to metabolism, immunity and cellular stress was examined in relation to a massive mortality event during the culture of American oyster larvae, Crassostrea virginica which was probably, in regard to previous microbiological analysis, induced by Vibrio infection. To document molecular changes associated with the mortality event, mRNA levels were compared t...
متن کاملOxygen Consumption in the American Oyster Crassostrea virginica
Acclimated and acute rates of oxygen consumption of the American oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin) were measured under 9 salinity-temperature combinations during declining oxygen tensions. In acclimated and non-acclimated individuals the basal rate of oxygen uptake increased significantly with each 10 C" rise in temperature. Multiple regression equations relating exposure and experimental t...
متن کاملCirculation and Behavior Controls on Dispersal of Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) Larvae in Delaware Bay
The relative contributions of the spring-neap tides, river discharge and vertical behavior to the dispersal of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in Delaware Bay is investigated with a coupled circulation-individual-based larvae model. The coupled model simulates larval growth and behavior along particle trajectories using temperature and salinity conditions obtained from an implemen...
متن کاملModeling the Dispersal of Eastern Oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in Delaware Bay
The interactions of circulation and growth processes in determining the horizontal distribution of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larvae in the Delaware Bay estuary were investigated with a coupled circulation-individual-based larvae model that used environmental conditions from the spawning seasons (mid-June to mid-September) of 1984, 1985, 1986, 2000, and 2001. Particles, representing...
متن کاملThe Dynamics of Metals in the American Oyster, Crassostrea virginica. II. Environmental Effects1
The dynamics of Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu and Cd in the shell and soft tissues of the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica, were observed in oysters exposed in situ to a metal-contaiminated environment from September, 1972 until August, 1973. Zn and Cu accumulated in soft tissues of exposed oysters reaching levels of 4100 rg Zn/gm and 450 rg Cu/gm compared to 1700 pg Zn/gm and 60 pg Cu/gm for controls (...
