Improving Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) production through selective breeding

Creator:: Evans, Sanford, 1968-
Abstract:: Shellfish growers have expressed interest in developing high-yielding oyster strains through selective breeding. This dissertation has three objectives to help determine the effects of genetic and environmental variation on production traits (body weight, survival, and yield) of Pacific oysters grown in the Pacific Northwest. Objective 1: Determine if relative family...

Is the laboratory growth of Pacific oyster spat, Crassostrea gigas, exposed to varying salinities, predictive of their growth in the estuary?

Creator:: Brooks, Christopher
Abstract:: Results of this study suggest that laboratory growth of full-sib families of five month old Pacific oyster spat can be predictive of growth to market size at different grow-out sites. Seven to ten millimeter spat were selected from each of fifteen full-sib families and commercially available polyploids. Each family was...

Growth and survival of zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio, larvae fed on two types of microparticulate diets

Creator:: Onal, Umur
Abstract:: Effects of diet and container type on growth and survival of altricial zebrafish, Brachydanio rerio, larvae were determined. Microfeast® L- 10 (MF) supported growth and survival of zebrafish larvae during the first 10-12 days. Best results were obtained with larvae fed on a combination of MF and Artemia nauplii in...

Integrating fleets, markets and ocean dynamics : a bioeconomic analysis of the Oregon ocean shrimp fishery

Creator:: Gallagher, Charmaine Marie
Abstract:: Questions relating to economic performance, biological conservation and variation in resource abundance and harvest of ocean shrimp have led to increasing pressure for management action. Developing effective management policies for this highly variable resource requires a comprehensive understanding of the fishery and marine processes. Important factors in understanding the fishery...

An Integrated Approach to the Investigation of Age, Growth and Population Dynamics of Burrowing Thalassinidean Shrimps in a U.S. West Coast Estuary

Creator:: Bosley, Katelyn Marie
Abstract:: Two indigenous species of burrowing shrimp inhabit and often dominate the intertidal zone of estuaries along the US West Coast, the ghost shrimp, Neotrypaea californiensis, and the blue mud shrimp, Upogebia pugettensis. Both species are considered ecosystem engineers and play a role in maintaining estuarine health and ecosystem function. They...

Bacteriophages Significantly Reduce Mortality of Larval Pacific Oysters Crassostrea gigas from Infection by the Pathogenic Bacterium Vibrio coralliilyticus RE98

Creator:: Madison, David B.
Abstract:: Vibrio coralliilyticus (Vcor) is a bacterial pathogen that is well adapted to shellfish hatcheries and is very pathogenic to the larvae of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas. Vcor has been associated with several large scale larval mortality events in the Pacific Northwest that interrupt the supply of seed oysters available...

Evaluation of spray-dried microalgae in diets for juvenile Manila clam Tapes philippinarum

Creator:: Önal, Ebru
Abstract:: Effects of spray-dried algae, Schizochytrium sp. and Haematococcus pluvialis, on growth and survival of Manila clam, Tapes philippinarum, spat were determined. Results of the present study showed that these two different spray-dried diets supported clam growth when added as supplements to rations of a mixed diet of the live algae...

Use of extractable lipofuscin as an age biomarker to determine age structure of ghost shrimp (Neotrypaea californiensis) populations in west coast estuaries

Creator:: Cassidy, Katelyn M.
Abstract:: Determining age in crustaceans is inherently imprecise because they molt periodically and do not retain hard structures throughout their lifespan. Morphological measurements, such as carapace length, are often used to estimate age because methods for direct ageing do not exist. However, variability in individual growth rate and molt frequency can...

Identification of optimal broodstock for Pacific Northwest oysters

Creator:: Stick, David A.
Abstract:: The United States Pacific Northwest is well known for its shellfish farming. Historically, commercial harvests were dominated by the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, but over-exploitation, habitat degradation, and competition and predation by non-native species has drastically depleted their densities and extirpated many local populations. As a result, shellfish aquaculture...
