Abstract excerpt
C. angulata accounts for the largest share of total oyster production in China, and it shows a significant divergence from C. gigas in key growth and nutritional traits. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are crucial nutritional components in oysters. Oleic acid, a key precursor in the biosynthesis of polyunsaturated fatty acids via Stearoyl-CoA desaturase (SCD), represents a highly...
