Presentations
American eels Anguilla rostrata are infected by an introduced parasitic nematode Anguillicoloides crassus, which can cause extreme necrosis of their swimbladders, yet effects on the eel population are currently unknown. We collected 3 eel life stages (glass, elver, and yellow) and the presence of A. crassus and swimbladder damage in each eel was quantified. The preliminary data show over 60% prevalence and an even higher prevalence of damaged swimbladders.

MSX is a microscopic parasite that kills oysters but is not harmful to humans. It is a protozoan, or one-celled animal which thrives in areas of high salinity water. Death of oysters occurs mostly in the warm season with minor losses occurring in winter. MSX is now in its tenth year in Virginia with no reduction of its activity.
