Toxic dinoflagellates (Alexandrium fundyense and A-catenella) have minimal apparent effects on oyster hemocytes
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Hegaret, Hélène; Wikfors, Gary H.; Soudant, Philippe; Lambert, Christian; Shumway, Sandra E.; Berard, Jean-baptiste; Lassus, Patrick.
The possible effect of Alexandrium spp. containing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP) toxins on the hemocytes of oysters was tested experimentally. In one trial, eastern oysters, Crassostrea virginica Gmelin, were exposed to bloom concentrations of the sympatric dinoflagellate, Alexandrium fundyense Balech, alone and in a mixture with a non-toxic diatom, Thalassiosira weissflogii (Grun) Fryxell et Hasle. Subsequently, another experiment exposed Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas Thunberg, to a mixed suspension of the sympatric, toxic species Alexandrium catenella (Whedon et Kofoid) Balech, with T. weissflogii. Measurements of numbers of oyster hemocytes, percentages of different cell types, and functions (phagocytosis, reactive oxygen species (ROS)...

Essential Fatty Acid Assimilation and Synthesis in Larvae of the Bivalve Crassostrea gigas
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Da Costa Gonzalez, Fiz; Robert, Rene; Quere, Claudie; Wikfors, Gary H.; Soudant, Philippe.
Essential fatty acids (EFA) are important for bivalve larval survival and growth. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively assess for the first time through a mass-balance approach dietary EFA incorporation and synthesis within Crassostrea gigas larvae. A first experiment was carried out using two microalgae, Tisochrysis lutea (T) and Chaetoceros neogracile (Cg), as mono- and bi-specific diets. A second experiment using a similar design was performed to confirm and extend the results obtained in the first. Flow-through larval rearing was used for accurate control of food supply and measurement of ingestion. Non-methylene-interrupted fatty acids were synthetized from precursors supplied in the diet: 16:1n-7 and 18:1n-9, mediated by Delta 5...

Attraction and repulsion of mobile wild organisms to finfish and shellfish aquaculture: a review
Provedor de dados: 5
Autores: Callier, Myriam; Byron, Carrie J.; Bengtson, David A.; Cranford, Peter J.; Cross, Stephen F.; Focken, Ulfert; Jansen, Henrice M.; Kamermans, Pauline; Kiessling, Anders; Landry, Thomas; O'Beirn, Francis; Petersson, Erik; Rheault, Robert B.; Strand, Oivind; Sundell, Kristina; Svasand, Terje; Wikfors, Gary H.; Mckindsey, Christopher W.
Knowledge of aquaculture–environment interactions is essential for the development of a sustainable aquaculture industry and efficient marine spatial planning. The effects of fish and shellfish farming on sessile wild populations, particularly infauna, have been studied intensively. Mobile fauna, including crustaceans, fish, birds and marine mammals, also interact with aquaculture operations, but the interactions are more complex and these animals may be attracted to (attraction) or show an aversion to (repulsion) farm operations with various degrees of effects. This review outlines the main mechanisms and effects of attraction and repulsion of wild animals to/from marine finfish cage and bivalve aquaculture, with a focus on effects on fisheries-related...
