Pacific oyster disease and mortality studies in California
Investigation of Pacific oyster mortalities was carriedout over a six-year period in major northern and centralCalifornia oyster rearing areas. Effort was directed towarddefining areas of high oyster mortality and determiningpossible etiologies of observed losses through monthly monitoring and sampl...
