Article Synopsis
- The subtropical brooding oyster thrives in the rocky subtidal areas of Jeju Island, Korea, where it experiences a significant range in sea temperature and salinity throughout the year.
- Histological and electron microscopy studies reveal that these oysters start their reproductive cycle in September, with spawning peaking in June and July, during warmer water temperatures.
- Unlike many temperate bivalves, this oyster has an extended gonad maturation phase, which is thought to be a strategy to gather sufficient nutrients for producing large eggs in nutrient-scarce conditions.
The sea cucumber Stichopus japonicus lives in a variety of marine habitats and is an important cultivated edible aquatic species in East Asia. In this study, S. japonicus, collected from the sea near Jeju Island of Korea, was lyophilised or vacuum-dried and then analysed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS).

Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that the isolate was most closely related to the type strain of Rhodopirellula baltica, with a shared 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 94.8%.
