Butyltin and phenyltin residues were quantified in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas), which were collected from several aquaculture sites along the west coast of Taiwan during different seasons. Butyltin compounds were detected in all of the samples, except in the oysters collected from the Wanggung site in November 2002. Monophenyltin and diphenyltin compounds were not detected in any of the samples. The average concentrations of monobutyltin, dibutyltin, tributyltin and tetrabutyltin in the oysters were n.d.-406.6+/-12.7, n.d.-280.9+/-15.3, n.d.-417.2+/-11.2 and n.d.-85.8+/-8.3 ng x g(-1) (wet wt.), respectively. Concentrations of butyltin compounds found in oysters varied both spatially and temporally.

The effects of plastic pollution on marine organisms is of growing concern. The hydrophobic surface of plastics adsorbs organic contaminants and can alter the rate of chemical uptake in fishes. Per-fluorinated organic chemicals such as Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) are highly hydrophobic toxic chemicals that adsorb to hydrophobic surfaces.

miRNA, a type of endogenous small non-coding RNA, is involved in the response to various environmental stresses through post-transcriptional regulation. In the present study, the role of CgmiR307 in the regulation of oxidative response under high-temperature stress by targeting CgNrf2 was investigated in the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. The binding site of CgmiR307 were predicted at 1799-1818 bp in the 3'-UTR of CgNrf2, and the binding activity of CgmiR307 with the mRNA of CgNrf2 was further proved by the dual-luciferase reporter assay.

Amplicon panels using genotyping by sequencing methods are now common, but have focused on characterizing SNP markers. We investigate how microhaplotype (MH) discovery within a recently developed Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) amplicon panel could increase the statistical power for relationship assignment. Trios (offspring and two parents) from three populations in a newly established breeding program were genotyped on a 592 locus panel.

Sustainability of bivalve shellfish farming relies on clean coastal waters, however, high levels of faecal indicator organisms (FIOs, e.g. Escherichia coli) in shellfish results in temporary closure of shellfish harvesting beds to protect human health, but with economic consequences for the shellfish industry.

Article Synopsis
- Recent research highlights the harmful effects of microplastics on marine mollusks, specifically focusing on Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas) exposed to PMMA and PVC microplastics in various concentrations.
- The study found significant changes in antioxidant enzyme activities, with particularly notable decreases in superoxide dismutase (SOD) following exposure to PMMA, alongside increased catalase (CAT) activity.
- DNA damage was also observed, with NF-κB expression rising significantly in high PMMA concentrations, indicating severe metabolic disruptions in the oysters' hepatopancreas.
