A population dynamic model assessing options for managing eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) and triploid Suminoe oysters (Crassostrea ariakensis) in Chesapeake Bay
… on the probability of extirpation of local eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in the Chesapeake Bay. Management strategies include varying the minimum shell length-at-harvest, harvest rate, and rate and frequency of stocking of oyster seed with respect to varying salinities …

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and the Microbiomes of Two Benthic Species
… southern flounder (Paralichthys lethostigma) and eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) to further understand the effects of both short- and long-term oil contamination. The bacterial component of the microbiomes of the two species were analyzed using Next-Generation 16S Sequencing, focusing on …

GENETIC PARAMETERS FOR HEAT AND SALINITY STRESS TOLERANCE IN NORTHERN GULF OF MEXICO EASTERN OYSTER, CRASSOSTREA VIRGINICA
<p>Summer mortalities in Gulf of Mexico eastern oysters have been linked to excessively high temperatures, and chronic exposure to low salinity. In this study, the feasibility of improving tolerance to these two stresses by selection was evaluated in common garden experiments employing a pool of …

Modeling the Dispersion of Eastern Oyster Larvae (<i>Crassostrea virginica</i>) and its Effects on the Movement of Disease Resistant Genes in the Delaware Bay Estuary
… into an Individual-Based model representing Eastern oyster larvae that has growth and vertical migration. Exchange of larvae between natural oyster reefs was estimated and used in an Individual-Based genetic model that simulates the genetic structure of eastern oysters. Particles were …
