Phenotypic traits of both larvae and juvenileCrasstrea hongkongensisandC. gigas

Abstract

Two cupped oyster species, Crassostrea hongkongensis and Crassostrea gigas are economically and ecologically important species native to the Northern and Southern coasts of China, respectively. C. hongkongensis is one of the most important oyster species currently cultured due to its high market value in Southern China. The species is distributed from Fujian to Guangxi Provinces, with populations centered in Guangdong Province. C. gigas is the most commonly species of oyster cultured, owing to its worldwide distribution, rapid growth, and dominant position in commercial oyster cultures. In Northern China, they are farmed primarily farmed in Liaoning and Shandong Province. To determine the possibility of transplantation of C. hongkongensis from Southern to Northern China, the early phenotypic traits both larval and juvenile C. hongkongensis and C. gigas were determined under the identical environments, which include temperature (Mt: (22依

The Sperm Proteome of the Oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis

“…[ 17 ] The two species are both commercially important, with C. gigas and C. hongkongensis contributing to 18.7% and 23.3% of the world oyster production, respectively. [ 18 ] In recent decades there has been efforts to boost up production in these oyster species by artificial propagation through improving the quality of their seedlings and through hybridization between different species of oysters, therefore, studies of sperm proteins will also have practical application value in aquaculture.…”
