The journal retracts the article titled “Influences of Cr(VI) on SOD Activity, MDA, and MT Content in the Hepatopancreas and Gill of Portunus trituberculatus” [...]

Euspira gilva, a member of the family Naticidae, is predominantly found in intertidal soft mud, sandy soil, and sandy seabeds along the coast of China, where it is valued for its nutritional richness and significant economic value. This study presents a comprehensive transcriptome sequencing and analysis of E. gilva specimens from the Lianyungang area, yielding 3385 high-quality isoform sequences and 3310 non-redundant transcr...

The toxic effect and differences of Cr(VI) on superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, MDA, and metallothionein (MT) content in the hepatopancreas and gill of Portunus trituberculatus were investigated during Cr(VI) enrichment (15 days) and release experiments (15 days). Results showed that the 1.50 and 0.30 mg/L test groups significantly exhibited higher SOD, MDA, and MT content in the hepatopancreas and gill compared with the co...

Summer mortality and morbidity are serious environment-related problems in cultured sea cucumbers (Apostichopus japonicus). Air exposure probably worsens the impact of high temperature on cultured sea cucumbers. In this present study, two laboratory experiments were designed to investigate the effects of artificial reefs on mortality, morbidity, crawling, feeding, and adhesion behaviors of small sea cucumbers (~1 g of wet body...
