Introduction to Bay Scallop

Bay scallop is an economically important bivalve species in aquaculture industry.

Sixty four scallop adductor products were processed using the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians, and one was from Portuguese oyster, Crassostrea angulata.

Seven cruises were carried out in a bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) farming area and its surrounding waters, North Yellow Sea, from March to November 2017 to study the dynamics of the carbonate system and its controlling factors.

Recently, two new strains of bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) with different shell colors as marked phenotypic traits have been artificially bred to improve their economic values; however, the inheritance mechanism of their shell pigmentation is still unclear.

The effect of salinity on the antioxidant function of bay scallops was investigated at 55, 70, 85 and 120% of seawater salinity (SW), with 100% SW as the control.

The bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) is one of the most important shellfish species in China.

We examined potential impacts of predation by channeled (Busycotypus canaliculatus) and knobbed whelks (Busycon carica) on natural and planted populations of bay scallops in the Peconic Bays, New York, through laboratory and field investigations.

Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) are an economically valuable species whose populations have declined in recent decades due in part to harmful algal and cyanobacterial blooms.

Argopecten irradians concentricus (Say), one of four geographic subspecies of the bay scallop, has become the major cultured species in southern China since its introduction in 1995.

Here, we identify and compare the unique and common transcriptomic responses of an organism experiencing widespread fisheries declines, Argopecten irradians (bay scallop) exposed to multiple stressors including high pCO2, elevated temperature, and two species of harmful algae, Cochlodinium (aka Margalefidinium) polykrikoides and Aureococcus anophagefferens using high‐throughput sequencing (RNA‐seq).

This study aims to identify the effect of biodeposition from a non-indigenous scallop (bay scallop) farm on sediment organisms in a semi-closed bay in Bohai Sea, China.

The QN Orange scallop, a new scallop strain successively selected from the interspecific hybrids of the bay scallop (Argopecten irradians irradians) and the Peruvian scallop (Argopecten purpuratus), is distinguished from other scallops by its orange adductor muscles.

Argopecten irradians concentricus (Say), one of four geographic subspecies of the bay scallop, has become the major cultured species in southern China since its introduction in 1995.

Since November 2017, mass mortalities of larvae of bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) were reported in hatcheries located at the southern area of Republic of Korea.

Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in the gills of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians, were accessed after treatment with 0.

In our previous studies, we produced the F₁ hybrids with high heterosis in growth by crossing the bay scallops with the Peruvian scallops and selected a new strain, Bohai Red, from the F₁ hybrids.

This study aimed to investigate the effects of DA exposure on the immune and physical responses of bay scallop, Argopecten irradians.

The bay scallop (Argopecten irradians) is a simultaneous hermaphroditic marine bivalve with distinct male and female gonads and is a species with external fertilization.
