A field test investigating the influence of brood stock origin and ploidy on the susceptibility of Crassostrea virginica to “triploid mortality” in the Chesapeake Bay
2020-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Mass mortalities of cultured triploid Crassostrea virginica in late spring, or “triploid mortality,” have been reported on farms in the Chesapeake Bay since 2012. Typical causes, such as disease or poor husbandry, were not responsible, and mortalities occurred without clear signs of biological or physical stressors.
