  • Quantitative and molecular genetics of larval susceptibility to Vibrio tubiashii in Pacific oysters (Crassostrea gigas)

    Creator:
    Chen, Chao
    Abstract:
    Vibriosis caused by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio tubiashii is one of several factors contributing to mass larval mortalities of the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) in Pacific Northwest shellfish hatcheries in recent years. Genetically improved strains of the Pacific oyster resistant to V. tubiashii would be highly desirable. This study investigates...

  • 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...
