Dermocystidium-Marinum Infection In Oysters, Frank O. Perkins
Dermocystidium-Marinum Infection In Oysters, Frank O. Perkins
VIMS Articles
A review of knowledge concerning the life cycle, structure, taxonomy, and pathology of Dermocystidium marinum is presented. The pathogen causes mortalities of the American oyster, Crassostrea virginica, along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts of the United States.
A Mathematical Approach To Depuration, Bruce J. Neilson
A Mathematical Approach To Depuration, Bruce J. Neilson
VIMS Articles
Two equations can be written to describe the change in bacterial concentrations in the shellfish and the water in depuration units. Analytical solutions of these equations for special conditions and numerical solutions for general conditions indicate that there will always be an initial, rapid decrease in bacteria in the oysters during depuration. With suitable flow rates and loading rates, the die off will be exponential and several orders of magnitude reduction can be achieved within 72 hours. Both very low flow rates and very low loading rates increase the residence time of water in the tank, and therefore depuration will …

The three predominant pathogens of oysters in Virginia are the haplosporidans Minchinia costalis and M. nelsoni and the protist Dermocystidium marinum (Wood and Andrews, 1962; Haskin, Stauber, and Mackin, 1966; Mackin, Owen, and Collier, 1950).
