A good understanding of the mechanisms and magnitude of the impact of invasive alien
species on ecosystem services and biodiversity is a prerequisite for the efficient prioritisation …

Oyster farming in estuaries is a globally important industry based primarily around the
Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, for which a common technique is elevated culture on racks …

A critical component of—and a limitation on—interpreting community structure is a detailed
understanding of the ecological and evolutionary history of the assemblage of species in …

Oysters are difficult to classify because of plasticity in shell morphology. Difficulties in
classification have hindered the understanding of oyster diversity and evolution. Recent …

Five cultured populations of Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, were examined at seven
polymorphic microsatellite loci to assess the levels of allelic diversity and heterozygosity …

The Pacific cupped oyster is genetically subdivided into two sister taxa, Crassostrea gigas
and Crassostrea angulata, which are in contact in the north-western Pacific. The nature and …

Identification of oyster species is still largely based on phenotypic characters that are highly
plastic. Prompted by the proposed introduction of the Asian oyster species Crassostrea …

This research presents the invasion history as well as an up-to-date distribution of the Pacific
oyster Magallana gigas in European coastal waters, concluding that this invasive species …

Use of SNP s has been favoured due to their abundance in plant and animal genomes,
accompanied by the falling cost and rising throughput capacity for detection and genotyping …

Abalone is a highly valued seafood in many parts of the world. Depending on size and
species, it can fetch between US 15andUS 30 per kg in some markets. Because of its high …
