A Resource Management Analysis of Olympia and Pacific Oysters in Puget Sound
… California Gold Rush, populations of Olympia oysters (<em>Ostrea lurida</em>) were nearly decimated by overharvest and water pollution in Puget Sound. To fill the market demand for oysters, Pacific oysters (<em>Crassostrea gigas</em>) were introduced from Japan in the early 1900s. Since then, …

Understanding immune priming in Pacific oysters: A multi-omics exploration of transcriptomic, epigenetic and microbiome regulation
… For molluscs, widespread mass-mortalities of Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) have occurred in recent years linked to infection with the bacterial pathogen Vibrio aestuarianus. Disease in farmed oysters is difficult to prevent or to treat and, in this context, immune priming has been proposed …

Vagal Integration of Cardiopulmonary Regulation
… HRV analysis for the first time in juvenile Pacific oysters using a novel, non-invasive video-microscopy method developed to assess HR/HRV during acute temperature changes in oysters acclimated to 22°C or 10°C. Acclimation to 10°C reduced the incidence of asystole and increased HRV vs. …

Understanding and minimizing the impacts of host-pathogen-environment interactions in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas
Globally, Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas are experiencing significant mortalities especially in warmer summer months, as a result of a complex aetiology and a strong association with pathogens such as ostreid herpes virus-1 microVar (OsHV-1 µvar) and bacteria Vibrio aestuarianus. Such …

Microencapsulated diets to improve the productivity of bivalve shellfish aquaculture for global food security
… shellfish – including mussels, clams, and oysters – could be an invaluable component of our global food solution. Bivalves are nutrient rich, production has a lower environmental footprint than that of all other animal foods, and developing just 1% of the coastline suitable for bivalves …

Understanding host, pathogen, environment dynamics in the marine environment with a particular focus on the Pacific oyster crassostrea gigas and its pathogens
… to investigate viral and bacterial infections in Pacific oysters in Ireland. In recent years, ostreid herpes virus-1 (OsHV-1) and variants, in particular OsHV-1 microVar (OsHV-1 µVar), and bacteria belonging to the genus Vibrio, specifically V. splendidus and V. aestuarianus, have become a major …

Urban marine bivalve aquaculture: A pathway to enhancing global food security
… bacteria. In my next chapter, I investigate how Pacific oysters, a keystone species for the aquacul- ture industry, will fare under projected climate change-induced stressors. Through this work, I demonstrate that prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures and low pH hinders their growth and …

The impact of UV radiation on the health and pathogen development of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas)
Pacific oysters Crassostrea gigas are cultured worldwide and play an important role in global food supply and the sustainable blue economy. Oyster culture sites in Europe, USA, Australasia, and Asia have been experiencing episodic summer mass mortality events. These mortality events can be severely …
