Marine coastal habitats are complex cyclic environments as a result of sun and moon interactions. In contrast with the well-known circadian orchestration of the terrestrial animal rhythmicity (approx. 24 h), the mechanism responsible for the circatidal rhythm (approx. 12.4 h) remains largely elusive in marine organisms. We revealed in subtidal field conditions that the oyster <i>Crassostrea gigas</i> exhibits tidal rhythmicity of circadian clock genes and clock-associated genes. A free-running ( ...[more]
