Journal ArticleDOI

Further observations on the influence of husbandry practices on OsHV-1 μVar mortality in Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas: Age, cultivation structures and growing height

TL;DR: The protective effect of high growing height on adult oysters was confirmed, with a final cumulative mortality below 40%, associated with significantly lower infection prevalence, and the final cumulative mortalities for spat were high regardless of the height and the type of cultivation structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reply to Lenz et al.: Quantifying the smallest microplastics is the challenge for a comprehensive view of their environmental impacts

TL;DR: Major developments are required to establish standardized procedures for collecting, fractionating, characterizing, and quantifying polymer particles; probably, the best promising method is in a liquid matrix.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bivalve population health: Multistress to identify hot spots

TL;DR: Monitoring in two cockle and two Manila clam populations highlighted that the discrepancy between population health and stress levels could be due to insufficient response by bivalves and/or by unfavourable ecological factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

How life history contributes to stress response in the Manila clam Ruditapes philippinarum.

TL;DR: Sensitivity of Manila clams to both stressors differed from one site to another, suggesting local adaptation of populations, and it is important to be cautious when extrapolating results from field studies of one species and one site, if the life history of the organisms is not taken into account.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interactive effects of metal contamination and pathogenic organisms on the introduced marine bivalve Ruditapes philippinarum in European populations.

TL;DR: Results showed that infection by opportunistic pathogens affects metal accumulation, leading to maximal Cd accumulation in co-infected clams, highlighting the necessity of taking pathogens into account in ecotoxicological studies.
