“…The mollusk is the second Phylum in the animal Kingdom, which can not only provide crucial ecological services (Pruden et al, 2021), significant economic benefits and huge amounts of highquality protein to humans, but also provide great values of viewing and collecting for their pleasantly regular geometric shapes, striking colors and colour patterns (Evo-devo of shell colour in gastropods and bivalves). Therefore, studies on genetics in shell colors have been attended in many species (Williams, 2017), especially in bivalve, such as oysters (Wang et al, 2018;Han et al, 2021), scallops (Zheng et al, 2013;Liu et al, 2015), mussels (Newkirk, 1980;Sun et al, 2021), etc. With increasing attention of high quality of aquatic products, over 20 new varieties marked by colors have been bred in China since 2000.…”

IntroductionIn aquatic animals, colors not only reflect their sensory qualities but also affect their nutritional components and market price. Noble scallop Chlamys nobilis is an importantly economical bivalve cultured in the south sea of China and renowned for its various shell colors.MethodsIn this study, the nutrient compositions were compared among golden, yellow, and brown shell colour noble scallops originating from the same population for breeding new varieties.ResultsAmong three colour scallops, there is no significant difference in the content of moisture, ash, and total protein content (TPC) but significant differences in total carotenoid content (TCC), total lipid content (TLC), and amino acids (AAs) (P < 0.05), with the TCC of the brown scallop being about 2 times lower. The yellow scallop contained the same nutrients as TCC, TLC, ∑PUFAs (including EPA and DHA), and n-3/n-6 as the golden scallop, and both were significantly higher than the brown scallop (P < 0.05), but they had significantly lower ∑SFAs than the latter (P < 0.05). The correlation between the nutrient indices and the shell color of scallops was 67.5%. There is a significantly positive correlation between TCC and ∑PUFAs (P < 0.05), while a significantly negative correlation exists between TCC and ∑SFAs (P < 0.05). More importantly, the yellow scallop had significantly higher EAAs and FAAs than the golden scallop (P < 0.05).DiscussionThis study showed that the yellow noble scallop not only enriched in carotenoids and PUFAs but also enriched in amino acids. Therefore, the yellow scallop is more benefit to human health, which can provide high-quality food for customers.
