Abstract:Yellow-brown spots are often observed on the inner shell surface of the clam Mactra veneriformis sampled in Binhai New Area, Lijin County, Shandong Province, China, negatively impacting its commercial value. In this study, Scanning electron microscopyenergy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), X-ray diffraction (X-rd), laser Raman spectrum (LRS), and Fourier infrared spectrum scanning (FT-IR) were used to detect and analyze the composition of spots on the inner shell surface of these clams. Compared with shells … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
