Organisms that tolerate wide variations in oxygen availability, especially to hypoxia, usually
face harsh environmental conditions during their lives. Such conditions include, for example …

Oysters are representative bivalve molluscs that are widely distributed in world oceans. As
successful colonizers of estuaries and intertidal zones, oysters are remarkably resilient …

Large changes in oxygen availability in aquatic environments, ranging from anoxia through
to hyperoxia, can lead to corresponding wide variation in the production of reactive oxygen …

Background The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, has developed special mechanisms to
regulate its osmotic balance to adapt to fluctuations of salinities in coastal zones. To …

Freezing, dehydration, salinity variations, hypoxia or anoxia are some of the environmental
constraints that many organisms must frequently endure. Organisms adapted to these …

Oysters that occupy estuarine and intertidal habitats have well-developed stress tolerance
mechanisms to tolerate harsh and dynamically changing environments. In this review, we …

In the present study, the combined effects of pH, dissolved oxygen (DO) and temperature
levels on the antioxidant responses of the mussel Mytilus coruscus were evaluated. Mussels …

The decline in dissolved oxygen concentrations has been one of the most important
changes occurring in the oceans, greatly impacting the survival, abundance, development …

With global changes and anthropogenic activities, heat and hypoxia have become frequent
stressors in aquatic environments. However, the molecular defense mechanisms of aquatic …

This review uses the marine bivalve Crassostrea gigas to highlight redox reactions and
control systems in species living in dynamic intertidal environments. Intertidal species face …
