The mud shrimp affects organic structure, nutrients, and the grain size of sediments in mudflats. Some of this activity creates difficulties for oyster growers, causing the application of pesticides in oyster growing areas in the 1950s. It may be that the changes in the ecosystem caused by introduced oysters and pesticides opened the doors for subsequent invasions. In 1999, a parasitic isopod was discovered to be infecting the native mud shrimp, and effectively sterilizing the shrimp. A related species, the Asian mud shrimp. Upogebia major, is less susceptible to the parasite, and has begun to fill in spaces formerly occupied by the blue mud shrimp. While this article is concerned with mud shrimp populations in California, the dynamics discussed are relevant to Oregon estuaries. If the ways our estuaries are engineered changes thanks to the double invasion, the way we manage our estuaries will also have to change.

Research findings indicate genetic pedigree, ploidy, culture practice, and prior exposure to environmental stress have varying influences on the expression of the summer mortality disease in Pacific oysters. Key facets of research to date include (1) the ability of oysters to survive episodes of summer mortality is in part genetically determined and perhaps can be enhanced through selective breeding of families showing high survival traits. Pedigreed lines of oysters with different genetic histories, produced by the Oregon State University Molluscan Broodstock Program (MBP), displayed markedly differential survival, yields, and growth rates during episodes of summer mortality at project study locations in California and Washington. There is a strong and consistent genetic response of families to environmental stress that is independent of when the families were produced and planted. In addition, prior inconsistent mortalities occurring across large culture plots can, at least in part, be explained by differential genetic backgrounds of the oyster crops.

Field experiments and grower observations have demonstrated sporadic high triploid mortalities and wide variation in survival compared with diploid oysters planted at the same locations.

The first advantage is that these "natural" triploids are always 100 percent triploid as verified by flow cytometry, insuring a high quality product for the customers. Hatchery seed was deployed in grow out bags at two different locations for a 26-month study to examine the growth performance (length, whole weight, meat weight) and gonadal development of the natural triploids, chemical triploids and diploids. The "natural" triploid outperformed both diploids and chemical triploids on most of the characteristics studied. The final length was increased by 7 to 9\% in the natural triploids compared to the diploids, the whole weight improved by 30 to 40\% and the meat weight by 19\% in the most productive area. The "natural" triploids outperformed as well the chemical triploids, with an increase of 7\% in length, 15\% in whole weight and 18\% in meant weight in the most productive area.

These estuaries range from large fjords to shallow lagoons; from large to low freshwater flows. Natural hazards include El Ninos, strong Pacific storms, and active tectonic activity. West Coast estuaries support a wide range of living resources: five salmon species, harvestable shellfish, waterfowl and marine birds, marine mammals, and a variety of algae and plants. Although populations of many of these living resources have declined (salmonids), others have increased (marine mammals). West Coast estuaries are also centers of commerce and increasingly large shipping traffic. The West Coast human population is rising faster than most other areas of the U. S. and Canada, and is distributed heavily in southern California, the San Francisco Bay area, around Puget Sound, and the Fraser River estuary. While water pollution is a problem in many of the urbanized estuaries, most estuaries do not suffer from poor water quality. Primary estuarine problems include habitat alterations, degradation, and loss; diverted freshwater flows; marine sediment contamination; and exotic species introductions.
