Molecular Genetic Studies Of Hematodinium Sp., A Parasitic Dinoflagellate Of The Blue Crab, Callinectes Sapidus, Katrina M. Pagenkopp Lohan

Dissertations, Theses, and Masters Projects

Economically viable fisheries for the American blue crab, Callinectes sapidus, occur in the USA from Delaware Bay to the Gulf of Mexico. Unfortunately, a number of factors, including overexploitation, degraded habitats, and disease, have contributed to the decline of blue crab populations in the USA. In April 2008, the Secretary of Commerce declared the blue crab fishery in the Chesapeake Bay a "commercial fishery disaster." One factor potentially contributing to the decline of blue crab populations in high salinity waters is infection with Hematodinium sp., a parasitic dinoflagellate, which can cause significant mortalities in blue crab populations. Since the first …
