Journal ArticleDOI

Oyster reproduction is affected by exposure to polystyrene microplastics

TL;DR: Evidence is provided that micro-PS cause feeding modifications and reproductive disruption in oysters, with significant impacts on offspring, providing ground-breaking data on microplastic impacts in an invertebrate model, helping to predict ecological impact in marine ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI

Microplastics Affect Energy Balance and Gametogenesis in the Pearl Oyster Pinctada margaritifera

TL;DR: It is shown that micro-PS significantly impact the assimilation efficiency and more broadly the energy balance of P. margaritifera, with negative repercussions on reproduction.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vivo RNA interference in oyster –vasa silencing inhibits germ cell development

TL;DR: Oyvlg appears to be essential for germ cell development in Crassostrea’gigas, particularly for mitotic proliferation and early meiosis, and is demonstrated for the first time that in’vivo RNA interference works efficiently in a bivalve species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproductive effort of Pacific oysters: A trait associated with susceptibility to summer mortality

TL;DR: A histological study on gonad area, which is representative of reproductive effort, in randomly chosen five R and five S oyster lines is reported, which shows the R lines showed a significantly lower Gonad area than the S lines.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bioactive extracellular compounds produced by the dinoflagellate Alexandrium minutum are highly detrimental for oysters.

TL;DR: A better understanding of the toxicity of A. minutum on oyster is provided and the significant role of BECs in this toxicity calling for further chemical characterization of these substances is highlighted.
