| Notes | Vibrio species present huge problems for oyster hatcheries. They can cause foodborne illnesses, and some species kill shellfish. This article gives the result of a study of the presence of Vibrios in Netarts Bay, Yaquina Bay and the Whiskey Creek Shellfish Hatchery in Netarts Bay. Efforts to reduce Vibrio species at the hatchery are described. These efforts met with success with many species, but not with regard to Vibrio coralliilyticus, a pathogen that kills larval oysters. Conditions in Netarts Bay that may favor this particular species are described. This is an open-access article. |
