Studying the noncovalent interactions between proteins and polysaccharides is quite important mainly due to the wide number of applications such as developing pH-responsive complexes. Scallop Patinopecten yessoensis male gonad hydrolysates‑sodium alginate (SMGHs-SA) was investigated as noncovalent complexes at pH from 1 to 10. The critical pH values pH (around 6) and pHφ (around 4) were independent of the SMGHs-SA ratio, indicating the formation of soluble and insoluble complexes. The pH response of SMGHs-SA complexes was evaluated by investigating the rheological behavior, moisture distribution, functional group change and microstructure. Compared to the co-soluble and soluble complexes phases, the SMGHs-SA complexes had a higher storage modulus and viscosity as well as a lower relaxation time (T) in the insoluble complexes phase (pHφ>3). Additionally, the amide I band and COO stretching vibration peaks were redshifted and the amide A band vibration peaks were blueshifted by acidification. Electrostatic interactions and intermolecular/intramolecular hydrogen bonding led to SMGHs-SA agglomeration at pH 3, forming a uniform and dense gel network structure with strong gel strength and water-retention capacity. This study provides a theoretical and methodological basis for the design of novel pH-responsive complexes by studying SMGHs-SA complex coacervation.

Heat shock proteins (Hsps) are highly conserved molecular chaperones with essential roles against biotic and abiotic stressors. A large set of co-chaperons comprising J-domain proteins (DnaJs) regulate the ATPase cycle of Hsp70s with Hsp90s, together constituting a dynamic and functionally versatile network for protein folding/unfolding and regulation. Marine bivalves could accumulate and tolerate paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs), the well-noted neurotoxins generated during harmful algal blooms.

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
- The study evaluates the health of the edible Tehuelche scallop and examines the effects of various parasites using advanced analysis techniques like histopathology and electron microscopy.
- It investigates the impact of environmental factors (like seawater temperature and location within the San José gulf) and host traits (such as size and gonad development) on parasite infection levels.
- Findings indicate a variety of parasites are present, with specific parasites showing patterns based on geographic location and temperature, and highlight a need for monitoring a particular parasite, APXSc, due to its potential risk to scallop health and fishery sustainability.

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.
