Comparative Analyses of Dynamic Transcriptome Profile of Heart Highlight the Key Response Genes for Heat Stress in Zhikong Scallop Chlamys farreri.

ABSTRACT: Heat stress resulting from global climate change has been demonstrated to adversely affect growth, development, and reproduction of marine organisms. The Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri), an important economical mollusk in China, faces increasing risks of summer mortality due to the prolonged heat waves. The heart, responsible for transporting gas and nutrients, is vital in maintaining homeostasis and physiological status in response to environmental changes. In this study, the effect of heat stress on the cardiac function of C. farreri was investigated during the continuous 30-day heat stress at 27 °C. The results showed the heart rate of scallops increased due to stress in the initial phase of high temperature exposure, peaking at 12 h, and then gradually recovered, indica
