Project description:The shellfish aquaculture industry provides a sustainable food source and jobs for a growing population. Oysters are the primary aquaculture species produced in the United States and account for a significant portion of seafood exports. Shellfish hatcheries have been experiencing frequent mass mortality events over the last couple of decades that occur approximately 10-14 days after oyster settlement. Settlement is a process that shellfish such as oysters undergo in which they transform from a free-swimming pelagic larvae to a sessile juvenile oyster. In order for this energy-intensive process to be successful, the oyster has to undergo behavioral and morphological changes. This is a vulnerable period in the oyster life cycle and conditions need to be such that they aren’t creating added stress. However, due to the oysters’ vulnerability, this is often a time when bacterial infections can occur, which when occurring with environmental conditions that are unfavorable, can prove to be fatal. In order to help oysters survive this process, scientists at the Taylor Shellfish Hatchery in Quilcene, WA has experimented with altering abiotic and biotic factors such as algal diet densities, pH, water flow rate, among others. At this hatchery, Pacific oysters are typically reared at 23˚C, however preliminary research results have suggested that oysters may have a higher survival rate when held at 29˚C during the settlement period. This pilot experiment attempts to identify differences in protein expression between oyster seed held at 23˚C and 29˚C during the settlement period using novel proteomic technology. Our proteomic results, paired with survival data, suggest that holding oyster seed at 29˚C during the settlement period results in higher survival rates.

Project description:Effluent from geoduck clam larval rearing tanks at two different pH (8.2 and 7.1) was collected at 4 time points (Days 1, 5, 8, and 12) over 12 days in a shellfish hatchery in Washington state, USA. The water was filtered to 0.2 microns to retain the bacterial fraction.

Project description:Originating from Northeast Asia, the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas has been introduced into a large number of countries for aquaculture purpose. Following introduction, the Pacific oyster has turned into an invasive species in an increasing number of coastal areas, notably in Northern Europe. To explore adaptation on reproductive traits of population considered as invasive, we set up a common garden experiment based on the comparison of progenies from two populations of Pacific oyster sampled in France and Denmark. A female-biased sex-ratio and a higher condition index were observed in the Danish progeny, possibly reflecting an evolutionary reproductive strategy to increase the potential success of natural recruitment in recently settled population. Using multifarious statistical approaches and accounting for sex differences we identified several genes differentially expressed between the Danish and French progenies, and with an intermediate expression level in hybrids (additive behavior). Candidate transcripts included mRNA coding for sperm quality and insulin metabolism known to be implicated in coordinated control of reproduction. Our results suggest adaptation of invasive populations during expansion acting on reproductive traits, and in particular on a female-biased sex-ratio, fertility and gamete quality. A common garden experiment was performed in order to compare progenies from two populations of Pacific oyster sampled in France and Denmark and their hybrids. Progenies were reared under standard hatchery and nursery conditions until gonadal maturation. The employed arrays were Agilent 60-mer 4x44K custom microarrays, containing 31,918 C. gigas ESTs, designed by Dheilly et al. (2011).
