Guo C.Y., and Chen J.J., 2023, Exploring the changes in indicators of non-indigenous pearl oyster Pinctada imbricata radiata (Leach, 1814) from the West of the Aegean Sea, Greece during different seasons, International Journal of Aquaculture, 13(13): 1-6 (doi: 10.5376/ija.2023.13.0013)

This review mainly focuses on the recently published research titled “ Seasonal Variation in the Biochemical Composition, Condition Index, and Meat Yield of the Non-indigenous Pearl Oyster Pinctada imbricata radiata (Leach, 1814) from the West of the Aegean Sea, Greece”. The research compared the biochemical composition, condition indicators, and meat yield of the non native pearl oyster (Pinctada imbricata radiata) in the western Aegean Sea during seasonal changes through a large amount of sample data. This review provides important reference and theoretical basis for further exploring the potential of pearl oysters in aquaculture and fishery development by interpreting research data and results. In addition, this review also emphasizes the health benefits of shellfish foods and the potential for promoting pearl oysters as edible bivalves. These findings are of great significance for marine resource management and sustainable development, providing new perspectives and opportunities for the development of pearl oyster farming and shellfish food industry.
