Sentinel organisms such as the mangrove oyster <em>Crassostrea gasar</em> provide valuable insights into these environments' health. However, a comprehensive understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying their response to metal exposure remains elusive. To address this gap, we reanalyzed the 454-sequencing data of <em>C. gasar</em>, utilizing an array of bioinformatics workflow of CDTA (Combined <em>De Novo</em> Transcriptome Assembly) to generate a more representative assembly. In parallel, <em>C. gasar</em> individuals were exposed to two concentrations of zinc (850 and 4500 μg L<sup>−1</sup> Zn) for 48 h to understand their molecular responses.

We identified potential metal pollution biomarkers, focusing on metal-related genes, such as those related to the GSH biosynthesis (<em>CHAC1</em> and <em>GCLC</em>-like), to zinc transporters (<em>ZNT2</em>-like), and metallothionein (<em>MT</em>-like). The evolutionary conservation of these genes within the <em>Crassostrea</em> genus was assessed through phylogenetic analysis. Further, these genes were evaluated by qPCR in the laboratory exposed oysters.
