Each tray was split into two parts and contained 100 oysters from two different families.
After inoculation, both challenged and control oysters were left overnight, out of seawater, to promote retention of the parasites, and then returned to seawater.
Copepods were rinsed in filtered sea water and were directly added in tanks containing uninfected oysters.
