Article Synopsis
  • Understanding how salinity affects bivalve reproduction is key for improving hatchery production strategies.
  • The study tested various salinity levels (15-40 g⋅L) on clam oocyte development, finding optimal salinities of 30-35 g⋅L for achieving high germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) rates.
  • Additionally, post-fertilization results showed that a salinity of 35 g⋅L led to the quickest release of polar bodies, suggesting that this specific salinity is ideal for triploid chromosome manipulation techniques.

The goal of this study was to evaluate biomarkers (glutathione S-transferase and catalase) and microorganisms in soft tissues of Crassostrea rhizophorae to assess possible contamination of seafood in Brazil. The oysters were sampled from a reference area (Ports 1 and 2) and an impacted area (Ports 3 and 4) in Brazil (São Luís Island, Maranhão). Six attributes were examined in sampled oysters: glutathione S-transferase activity, catalase activity, concentrations of total coliforms and thermotolerant coliforms, and levels of Escherichia coli and Aeromonas hydrophila.
