Aquaculture-associated factors in QPX disease of hard clams: density and seed source

2002-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Quahog Parasite Unknown (QPX), a recently discovered pathogen of hard clams, Mercenaria mercenaria, appears to be most prevalent in clams held in hatchery or nursery tanks or grown to market in culture parks. The persistent link with cultured clams indicated that culture practices might increase the susceptibility of clams to an opportunistic or facultative parasite. We investigated two hypotheses: (1) that increa...
