| Notes | An outbreak of vibriosis that appeared on the West Coast in the summer of 2006 and peaked in 2007 is described, along with methods of reducing contamination. Relationships between oyster die-offs and severe upwellings and El Nino are suggested. "We first recorded a severe outbreak of vibriosis, for which the etiological agent was later confirmed to be toxigenic Vibrio tubiashii, in 1998 from a hatchery on Netarts Bay. The SST [sea surface temperature] during this period was unusually elevated and remarkably similar to the elevated temperature regime observed in 2007, when severe vibriosis re-emerged." (p.125) |
