Journal ArticleDOI
Flow cytometric analysis of haemocytes from eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, subjected to a sudden temperature elevation: II. Haemocyte functions: aggregation, viability, phagocytosis, and respiratory burst
TL;DR: The capability of an oyster to respond to environmental stresses, such as periodically high summer temperatures, as well as disease or parasite infections, depends, in large measure, upon the viability and functional capability of haemocytes as discussed by the authors.
Shellfish aquaculture — In praise of sustainable economies and environments
Sandra E. Shumway,Christopher V. Davis,Robin Downey,Rick Karney,John Kraeuter,Robert Rheault,Gary H. Wikfors +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors extol the virtues of filterfeeding bivalve shellfish and give them their due as key players in ecologically sustainable aquaculture in the marine environment and as environmentally sensitive monitors and water purifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flow-cytometric analysis of haemocytes from eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica, subjected to a sudden temperature elevation: I. Haemocyte types and morphology
TL;DR: The ability to detect changes in individual haemocyte types for many oysters by these flow-cytometric methods should improve progress in understanding oyster mortality associated with combined effects of environmental stresses, disease, and parasites.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of algal research in aquaculture
Gary H. Wikfors,Masao Ohno +1 more
TL;DR: The challenge being addressed in current research on microalgae in Aquaculture food chains is to combine engineering and nutritional principles so that effective and economical production of microalgal feed cultures can be accomplished to support an expanding marine animal aquaculture industry.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental exposure of the blue mussel (Mytilus edulis, L.) to the toxic dinoflagellate Alexandrium fundyense: Histopathology, immune responses, and recovery
TL;DR: Evidence of lipid peroxidation, similar to the detoxification pathway described for various xenobiotics, was found; insoluble lipofuchsin granules formed, and hemocytes carried the granules to the alimentary canal, thus eliminating putative dinoflagellate toxins in feces.
