Genetic di ersity of selected flat oysters following this bottleneck.
In this study, the monitored oysters were too young to experience significant parasite pressure.
Changes were corrected using associated determinations within control pots without oysters.
Many types of seafood, especially oysters, shrimp and the other crustaceans are often eaten raw or undercooked.
The metazoan parasite communities of all four oysters species were dominated by allogenic species.
In fact, oysters and many other kinds of shellfish are said to be larger at the time when the moon is waxing.
Comparable results were seen for individual oysters with medium supplemented at 0.03 mg/ml (data not shown).
Four oysters out of 90 died among the challenged group but no mortality was observed among the control group.
