Background Transcriptome sequencing is an effective tool to reveal the essential genes and pathways underlying countless biotic and abiotic stress adaptation mechanisms. Although severely challenged by diverse environmental conditions, the Pacific abalone Haliotis discus hannai remains a high-value aquaculture mollusk and a Chinese predominantly cu...
Article
Hybridization and backcrossing are classical breeding methods that can effectively improve the genetic characteristics of organisms through heterosis. The hybrid abalone (Haliotis discus hannai ♀ × H. fulgens ♂, DF) and backcrosses are cultured on a large scale due to their high survival rates under heat stress in summer. The thermal resistance of...

The tremendous expansion of Chinese abalone production has not been without challenges such as low salinity stress, which may occur during severe summer rainstorms and typhoon events. Interspecific hybrids have, however, been of great use to the aquaculture industry in withstanding environmental stresses. This study adopted the non-invasive method...
Article
The nautilus, commonly known as a “living fossil,” is endangered and may be at risk of extinction. The lack of genomic information hinders a thorough understanding of the biology and evolution of nautilus, which can shed light on the conservation of this endangered species. Here, we report the first high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly of...
Article
In recent years, suboptimal environmental conditions have been frequently reported to negatively impact on aquaculture organisms. Salinity is an important environmental factor, and its fluctuation will affect survival, growth and, potentially, the meat quality of the organisms with narrow salt tolerance cultured in coastal and inner bay. The aim of...

The assessment of morphology and immunology of specimens at different maturity stages is essential for the determination of spawning strategy and reducing the risk of mortality. In this paper, female and male Pacific abalones (Haliotis discus hannai) at different statuses (pre-spawning, spawning and post-spawning) were collected to estimate the eff...
