Settlements of yesso scallop Mizuhopecten yessoensis in the northwestern Tatar Strait (within the waters of Khabarovsk Region) are considered on the data of scuba (< 20 m depth) and dredge (> 20 m depth) surveys conducted in 2001–2018. To 2018, only two settlements remain in this area from 9–12 ones in 2010–2014; both remained settlements have no commercial value. Trend to decreasing of the settlements density is shown: the mean density was 3.0 ind./m2 in 2001, 0.20 ind./m2 in 2010, and 0.0005 ind./m2 in 2018. Commercially valuable scallops with the shell height > 120 mm prevailed in the settlements (86–100 %), whereas juveniles were rare or absent (1.6 %, on average) in all years of surveys. CPUE decreased from 200 kg/diver/hour in 2001–2003 to 10 kg/diver/hour in 2018. These changes are obviously reasoned by overexploitation of the population using dredging and scuba gathering. Total commercial stock of yesso scallop dropped to the minimal value in 2018: 200 t, that was in 4.5 times lower than the established limit. Thus, 5 years ban is established for M. yessoensis landing in the area.

Dredgе survey (177 stations) was conducted in the northwestern Tatar Strait (northward from 48° N) at the depths 14–82 m in summer 2018 (from July 21 to August 7). In the dredge catches, 76 species and taxa of benthic invertebrates are recorded, including 42 epibenthic species, mainly Ophiura sarsi, Evasterias echinosoma, Strongylocentrotus pallidus, Paralithodes brevipes, Cucumaria japonica, P. camtschaticus, Mizuhopecten yessoensis, and S. intermedius. The areas of their aggregations are determined. The largest area was occupied by the settlements of polyphagous S. pallidus (5100 km22 at the depths 30–60 m). Specific biomass of epibenthos is calculated, its average value within the surveyed area was 21.5 ± 2.0 g/m2. Depth ranges of the species domination are defined. The dominant species changed with latitude: in the southern part of the survey, Paralithodes camtschaticus dominated with the biomass of 5.1 ± 4.4 g/m2 in the upper 20 m layer (48–49° N), replaced at the depth of 20–30 m by P. brevipes (22.2 ± 14.2 g/m2 between 48–49° N) or C. japonica (28.2 ± 3.0 g/m2 between 49–50° N), both species changed deeper to S. pallidus (4.3 ± 1.1 g/m2); in the northern part of the survey (50–51° N), S. intermedius dominated in the upper 30 m layer with the biomass of 14.7 ± 9.5 g/m2, Mizuhopecten yessoensis (9.7 ± 6.2 g/m2 ) and Evasterias echinosoma (5.1 ± 1,0 g/m2 ) prevailed in the depth range of 30–40 m and were replaced by S. pallidus (18.0 ± 9.5 g/m2) below 50 m; in the northernmost shallow tip of the Strait, Ophiura sarsi dominated absolutely with the biomass of 13.0 ± 1.1 g/m2) in the whole depth range down to 30 m. The greatest species richness and abundance of epibenthos were observed at the depths not exceeding 40 m. Statistically significant decreasing of quantitative parameters of the epibenthos with the depth is observed because of the bottom temperature and topical diversity declination with depth. However, environmental conditions have no significant impact on latitudinal distribution of abundance, wealth and species diversity of the epifauna in the surveyed area. The grouping of epibenthos with specific species structure that could be classified as the circumlittoral one is defined in the upper shelf zone in the northernmost area with the depth < 30 m (somewhere < 40 m).

AbstractWe have monitored tributyltin (TBT) pollution in Galicia (NW Spain) for more than a decade by means of assessing gastropod imposex in populations of Nucella lapillus (N ≥ 34) and Tritia reticulata (N ≥ 18) at regular intervals. Several thousand specimens were processed to obtain their shell height (SH), penis length (PL) and vas deferens sequence (VDS); imposex indices (including the VDS index, VDSI) were subsequently calculated. The regional mean SH of both females and males has not changed significantly in either species throughout the study. This also applies to the mean male PL in N. lapillus, but male T. reticulata penises surprisingly enlarged. On the contrary, the regional mean female PL (MFPL) and all imposex indices significantly decreased in both snails. Results confirm previous conclusions based on the chemical analyses of tissues and partial imposex observations. In addition, the close correlations between MFPL and VDSI show some potential applications to TBT biomonitoring.

Practical men are accustomed to measure the efficiency of a glow-lamp in watts per candle or, in other words, by the quantity of energy which must be supplied to it for every mean spherical candle-power of light it gives. The energy supplied is measured by an ammeter and voltmeter, and the mean spherical candle-power is obtained on the photometric bench by comparing the light given in different directions with that of some standard source. The watts per candle together with the life and initial cost of the lamp determine its commercial value.On the other hand, we may regard the lamp as an energy-transforming device, and measure its efficiency by the percentage of electrical energy it transforms into light.

Juvenile scallops (shell height 4–35 mm) were stimulated to swim in an aquarium using a whelk, and their swimming was recorded and analyzed using a videocassette recorder. Scallops ascended in the water column in straight, spiral, or twisting patterns, and the majority never swam horizontally. Two types of swimming were observed. Stable swimming, with a consistent body angle (the angle that the scallop makes with the horizon), was recorded over the size range of scallops examined. In stepwise swimming, the body angle alternated between steep (98 ± 13 (SD)) and more horizontal angles (51 ± 9°). Stepwise swimming was observed among the smaller (mean ± SD = 8 ± 3 mm) scallops. Maximum and mean velocities were positively correlated with both shell height and temperature. Clap rate (Cr) increased with increasing temperature (Cr = 0.29T (°C) + 1.3). Body angle expressed a significant relationship with shell height. Below 10 mm shell height the mean angle was 82°; between 30 and 35 mm the mean angle was 38°.

Abstract Background:The Yesso scallop, Patinopecten (Mizuhopecten) yessoensis, is a commercially important bivalve in the coastal countries of Northeast Asia. It has complex modes of sex differentiation, but knowledge of the mechanisms underlying this sex determination and differentiation is limited. Results:In this study, the gonad tissues from females and males at three developmental stages were used to investigate candidate genes and networks for sex differentiation via RNA-Req. A total of 901,980,606 high quality clean reads were obtained from 18 libraries, of which 417 expressed male-specific genes and 754 expressed female-specific genes. Totally, 10,074 genes differentially expressed in females and males were identified. Weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) revealed that turquoise and green gene modules were significantly positively correlated with male gonads, while coral1 and black modules were significantly associated with female gonads. The most important gene for sex determination and differentiation was Pydmrt1, which was the only gene discovered that determined the male sex phenotype during early gonadal differentiation. Enrichment analyses of GO terms and KEGG pathways revealed that genes involved in metabolism, genetic and environmental information processes or pathways are sex-biased. Forty-nine genes in the five modules involved in sex differentiation or determination were identified and selected to construct a gene co-expression network and a hypothesized sex differentiation pathway. Conclusions: The current study focused on screening genes of sex differentiation in Yesso scallop, highlighting the potential regulatory mechanisms of gonadal development in P. yessoensis. Our data suggested that WCGNA can facilitate identification of key genes for sex differentiation and determination. Using this method, a hypothesized P. yessoensis sex determination and differentiation pathway was constructed. In this pathway, Pydmrt1 may have a leading function.
