Restoring Alabama’s Oysters after the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill. The protozoan parasite Perkinsus marinus is a facultative intracellular parasite of mollusks, and the causative agent of "dermo" disease in both wild and farmed Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the USA [1–4].Since its initial description, P. marinus has generated substantial controversy with regards to its taxonomic placement [5, 6]. Other common names include mussel worm, pileworm, and sandworm. A few species live in fresh water. Have fast growth rates and high reproduction rates. 0000542777 00000 n

The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginicais a eurythermal suspension-feeding bivalve distributed around the east coast of North America from the Gulf of St Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico (Galtsoff, 1964). Adults are sessile – they stay in one place – and inhabit both intertidal and sub-tidal areas. Thermal exposure of sessile marine animals inhabiting estuarine intertidal regions is a serious concern with respect to their physiological processes. 0000443765 00000 n

The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica is a eurythermal suspension-feeding bivalve distributed around the east coast of North America from the Gulf of St Lawrence to the Gulf of Mexico (Galtsoff, 1964). The recent release of a reference genome for the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica (Gómez‐Chiarri, ... identified unexpected population structure potentially arising from management practices that may act counter to local adaptations to salinity within this coastal system. In eastern North America, culture efforts began a century ago to rehabilitate over-harvested oyster grounds and improve harvests. View/ Open.

Since then, the local Eastern oyster population has gradually faded, according to environmental specialists at the military instillation. Marine mollusks belong to the ecologically dominant organisms in the intertidal zone and have successfully adapted to harsh life between the tides, representing an excellent model system to investigate mitochondrial adaptations to stress.
