Crassostrea hongkongensis is an economically important bivalve found in various parts of the South China Sea. A new interspecific backcross ([(Crassostrea hongkongensis ♀ × C. gigas ♂) ♂ × C. hongkongensis ♀]) vari...

Oysters are nutritious and tasty but difficult to store. Drying can extend the storage period of oysters and give them a unique flavor. In this study, the effects of four drying procedures, namely, vacuum freeze drying (VFD), vacuum drying (VD), natu...

Chronic exposure to ultraviolet B (UVB) irradiation is a major cause for skin photoaging. UVB induces damage to skin mainly by oxidative stress, inflammation, and collagen degradation. This paper investigated the photo-protective effects of peptides...

This study aimed to purify and identify antiphotoaging peptides from oyster (Crassostrea hongkongensis) protein enzymatic hydrolysates (OPEH) and to investigate the possible mechanism underlying its antiphotoaging effect. Multiple methods (Ultrafiltr...

Protein content, a vital component determining the nutritional quality of oysters, is unevenly distributed in different parts of oyster. In this study, the spatial distribution (visceral mass, mantle, gill, and adductor) patterns and structural chara...

Hong Kong oysters (Crassostrea hongkongensis) are an important marine bivalve with nutritional and commercial value. The expanded off-bottom farming scale in recent years makes the oysters more susceptible to exposure to abiotic stresses, such as sal...

Peptides from oyster hydrolysate (OPs) have a variety of biological activities. However, its protective effect and exact mechanism on testicular injury remain poorly understood. This study aimed to evaluate the protective effect of OPs on triptolide...

Oyster meat has a tender texture and delicate flavor, and the oyster is an aquatic shellfish with high nutritional and economic values. As they are rich in protein, oysters serve as a good source for the preparation of bioactive peptides. However, re...

The Hong Kong oyster Magallana hongkongensis, previously known as Crassostrea hongkongensis, is a true oyster species native to the estuarine-coast of the Pearl River Delta in southern China. The species—with scientific, ecological, cultural, a...

Oysters contain significant amounts of the zinc element, which may also be found in their proteins. In this study, a novel zinc-binding protein was purified from the mantle of the oyster Magallana hongkongensis using two kinds of gel filtration chrom...

Gender differences in the hemocyte immune response of Hong Kong oyster Crassostrea hongkongensis to Vibrio harveyi and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) infection exist. To determine if a gender difference also exists, we use a 1H NMR-based metabolomics metho...

Crassostrea hongkongensis (C. hongkongensis) is one of the three most commonly cultivated oyster species in China. Seasonal hypoxia is one of the most serious threats to its metabolism, reproductive behavior, and survival. To investigate the effects...

In this study, we explored the ability of Gracilaria vermiculophylla coupled with Crassostrea hongkongensis to purify aquaculture effluent by analysing the purification of intensive shrimp farming effluent using G. vermiculophylla under different env...

Water temperature stands as a crucial environmental element, exerting an impact on the survival and growth of organisms in aquaculture. Heat stress poses a significant threat to the survival and aquaculture of the Hong Kong oyster Magallana hongkonge...
