Article Abstract
As an important transcription factor, SOX2 involves in embryogenesis, maintenance of stem cells and proliferation of primordial germ cell (PGC). However, little was known about its function in mature gonads. Herein, we investigated the SOX2 gene profiles in testis of scallop, Chlamys farreri. The level of C. farreri SOX2 (Cf-SOX2) mRNA increased gradually along with gonadal development and reached the peak at mature stage, and was located in all germ cells, including spermatogonia, spermatocytes, spermatids and spermatozoa. Knockdown of Cf-SOX2 using RNAi leaded to a mass of germ cells lost, and only a few spermatogonia retained in the nearly empty testicular acini after 21 days. TUNEL assay showed that apoptosis occurred in spermatocytes. Furthermore, transcriptome profiles of the testes were compared between Cf-SOX2 knockdown and normal scallops, 131,340 unigenes were obtained and 2,067 differential expression genes (DEGs) were identified. GO and KEGG analysis showed that most DEGs were related to cell apoptosis (casp2, casp3, casp8), cell proliferation (samd9, crebzf, iqsec1) and spermatogenesis (htt, tusc3, zmynd10, nipbl, mfge8), and enriched in p53, TNF and apoptosis pathways. Our study revealed Cf-SOX2 is essential in spermatogenesis and testis development of C. farreri and provided important clues for better understanding of SOX2 regulatory mechanisms in bivalve testis.

Recently, an instrumental analysis using LC-MS/MS has been developed and validated for paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) and tetrodotoxin (TTX) in bivalve molluscs in Japanese domestic and overseas. The method for 11 PSTs and TTX in scallops was validated in accordance with a previous report and CODEX-STAN. The samples were prepared by adding the standard mixture of PSTs and TTX to scallop (Patinopecten yessoensis) homogenates, extracted with 1% acetic acid and then cleaned up using an ENVI-Carb (250 mg/3 mL) cartridge.

Article Synopsis
- Scallops are mainly grown in Japan, China, and South Korea, but recent mass deaths among them may be due to high temperatures or diseases, with exact causes still unknown.
- A study investigated DNA virus diversity in scallops and seawater from South Korea, revealing different viral communities present in each environment.
- Identified viruses, including Abalone herpesvirus, show that scallops carry various viruses that can affect marine ecosystems, emphasizing the need to understand these communities to help protect coastal environments.

To investigate the effects of different drying methods on the flavor of scallops, headspace gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (HS-GC-IMS) combined with gas chromatography-olfactometry-quadrupole time-of-flight (GC-O-QTOF) was used to analyze the flavor of scallops processed by five drying methods. A total of 62 volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were identified by GC-IMS. 27 characteristic aroma compounds were identified by GC-O-QTOF, and the highest content was trimethylamine.

Background: Bivalves represent a vital economic resource in aquaculture for their high productivity and extensive market demand. Growth is one of the most important and desired aquaculture traits for bivalves, regulated by multiple levels, notably intricate metabolic processes. However, the understanding of the metabolic profiles that influence bivalve growth is limited, particularly from a multi-tissue perspective.
