Five polymorphic microsatellite loci were identified in the black scallop Mimachlamys varia after construction of a genomic library enriched for (GT)n. To examine the transmission pattern of microsatellite alleles, several families were created and genotypes scored for three loci. The expected Mendelian ratios were found in 12 of 14 segregations examined. Unexpected segregations may be explained by a genotyping error (allelic dropout), given that when a specific allele was treated as dominant, the phenotypic ratios conformed to Mendelian expectations. The five loci were also examined in two samples from the Spanish coast. The two localities displayed similar mean values for the number of alleles per locus (7.2-8.4), allelic richness (7.2-7.9), and observed (0.389-0.484) and expected heterozygosity (0.545-0.618). Significant Hardy-Weinberg deviations were observed at three loci, with heterozygote deficiency occurring in all cases. Global multilocus θ value and allele frequencies at one locus revealed significant differentiation between the two localities.

This dataset presents the growth performance and survival of black scallops () reared under suspended conditions using different growing systems at two different sites of the Basque coast (SE Bay of Biscay). Monthly data on environmental variables (temperature, salinity, oxygen saturation and chlorophyll "a" concentration) in the water column is also provided. Juveniles obtained from a hatchery with a mean length of 23.

Article Synopsis
- Coastal areas serve as critical zones where marine and land ecosystems interact, hosting significant economic activities like trade, fishing, and tourism.
- The port of La Rochelle, facing potential contamination from anthropogenic sources, particularly trace metals, raised concerns about the impact of galvanic cathodic protection methods on bivalve health.
- A study focused on the black scallop Mimachlamys varia used caging methods to evaluate health biomarkers, revealing that weather conditions and port activities may overshadow the effects of sacrificial anodes on scallop health over time.
First study on the determination of baseline biomarkers in Mimachlamys varia for an intra-port environmental biomonitoring in French Atlantic coastline (La Rochelle).

The characterization of organic and inorganic environmental pollution in coastal ecosystems, such as port areas, is complex and difficult to carry out due to the effect of environmental variables, as well as anthropic activities. For this study, the objective was to define a statistical method, taking into account the confounding factors influence, to define reference values for biomarkers in the black scallop (Mimachlamys varia). Thus, for five biomarkers (SOD (Superoxyde Dismutase), GST (Glutathion-S Transferase), MDA (Malondialdehyde), AChE (Acetylcholinesterase) and LAC (Laccase)), reference data could be described for individuals placed on sites more or less strongly impacted by specific environmental contaminations in port areas for more than two years, which had never been done before.

Cadmium contamination is a severe food safety risk for human health. Herein, a long afterglow "off-on" phosphorescent aptasensor was developed based on phosphorescence resonance energy transfer (PRET) for the detection of Cd in complex samples which minimizes the interference of background fluorescence. In this scheme, initially the phosphorescence of Cd-binding aptamer conjugated long afterglow nanoparticles (ZnGeO:Mn) was quenched by black hole quencher 1 (BHQ) modified complementary DNA.

Microplastics have adverse effects on marine organisms. However, there are limited data on microplastics distribution patterns in various tissues of marine organisms. Microplastics in seawater and nine types of tissues of the Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri) from three coastal aquaculture areas were analysed.
