The identification of several highly induced and defence-related oyster transcripts supports the crucial role played by the innate immune system against the virus and opportunistic microbes possibly contributing to subsequent spat mortality. Once the larvae permanently attach to a surface, they are known as spat. Two forms of improvements have been used extensively in the oyster industry: disease resistance and polyploidy. Biologists use the data from square meter sampling in yearly oyster stock assessments. ![]() When oysters reproduce, they spawn tiny larvae that freely navigate the water column until they find an appropriate habitat with a structure to settle on.

Photo: John Supan, Louisiana Sea Grant Oyster aquaculture is similar to traditional agriculture in that seed is selected for improved survival and performance. Once the samples are back on the boat, biologists identify, separate, and count live and dead oysters, spat, fouling organisms, oyster predators, and hooked mussels they also measure and sort the oysters. To solve this problem, a series of studies was conducted to optimize rearing conditions to improve spat survival (e.g., Luo et al. High sequence coverage allowed us to thoroughly explore the OsHV-1 transcriptome and identify the activated molecular pathways in C. Oysters are a type of shellfish that live in brackish and saltwater bays, estuaries, and tidal creeks. (2008) reported 94.1 spat mortality in Liushagang Bay, Guangdong, that lasted for 90 days. In this work, we have performed a dual RNA sequencing analysis on an oyster sample with a high viral load. Think about it like the D-Day landing, you just flood the beach with so many men, said Cannon. At 26 months post -cultch placement, the average density of seed oysters on the cultch plant was 25.4 seed-sized oysters/m2(Table 3). 15-30,000 are grown per year by the company, which are released into the environment at an age where they have about 4 spawns before becoming harvestable with the goal of overtaking the mortality rate. Factors enhancing the infectivity of the virus and its interactions with susceptible and resistant bivalve hosts are still to be understood, and only few studies have explored the expression of oyster or viral genes during productive infections. Project-specific sampling conducted in summer and fall 2014 showed good recruitment of seed oysters with low mortality throughout the project cultch site. ![]() In particular, the OsHV-1 μVar subtype has been associated with severe mortality episodes in oyster spat and juvenile oysters in France and other regions of the world. Ostreid herpesvirus type 1 (OsHV-1) has become a problematic infective agent for the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas.
