NOAA study detects bitter crab disease earlier using genetics

A NOAA Fisheries study has shown that genetics enable earlier detection of a lethal disease in Tanner and snow crabs. Scientists used sensitive genetic detection methods to examine crabs collected during the NOAA Fisheries annual bottom trawl survey in the eastern Bering Sea from 2015 to 2017 and estimated the annual prevalence of bitter crab disease.

New floating nursery system increases bay scallop production in New England

A newly developed nursery system has shown that bay scallops can be grown at high densities if water flow and microalgal food are sufficient.  Southern New England’s climate is ideal for bay scallop farming, but to grow them efficiently enough to earn a profit, they must be cultivated in a nursery system before moving to a growout setting.

Oyster diseases threaten Atlantic Canada’s industry

Oysters don’t have any kind of adaptive immunity. Unlike vertebrates that have a defence mechanism which can remember and destroy disease-causing substances, if oysters can’t fight off infection and they get re-infected another time, it’s a whole new infection for them. » Read More...
