Many microarray and suppression subtractive hybridization (SSH) studies have analyzed
the effects of environmental stress on gene transcription in marine species. However, there …

This review describes our recent work on environmental stress in Sydney rock oysters,
focusing on the identification of molecular biomarkers for ecotoxicological analysis. We …

Marine organisms respond to the environment by regulating their gene expression.
Pollutants may induce changes in a characteristic set of genes to form their genomic …

The Akoya pearl oyster is an economically important species farmed throughout Japan and
China, and on a small scale in Australia. Recent proliferation of Akoya viral disease (AVD) …

Understanding the mechanisms by which organisms adapt to environmental conditions is a
fundamental question for ecology and evolution. In this study, we evaluate changes in gene …

Although oysters are exposed to seasonal temperature changes, they are frequently
subjected to acute temperature stress during emersion due to their attachment on their rocky …

Stress of aquatic animals occurs due to physical and physiological disturbances in the
aquatic environment or system when transportation, crowding, handling or changes of …

As a characteristic sessile inhabitant of the intertidal zone, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea
gigas occupies one of the most physically stressful environments on earth. With high …

During the annual cycle, oysters are exposed to seasonal slow changes in temperature, but
during emersion at low tide on sunny summer days, their internal temperature may rise …

Oysters are commercially important intertidal filter-feeding species. Mass mortality events of
oysters often occur due to environmental stresses, such as exposure to fluctuating …
