Oysters show a two-phase life cycle: pelagic larvae adhere before metamorphosis into benthic life. Larval adhesion occurs at the pediveliger stage by secretion of a bioadhesive produced by a specialized organ: the foot. The oyster Crassostrea gigas is an organism of economic and ecological importance, and a model for study in marine biology, but the phenomenon of adhesion in the pediveliger larvae is poorly documented. A morphological description of the pediveliger larvae by histology and electron microscopy was performed to describe the glands responsible for the secretion of the adhesive.A predominantly proteinaceous composition of the adhesive was revealed by histochemistry and FTIR spectroscopy. An in silico analysis of available transc...
