Removal of Marine Worms from the Surface of Oyster Shells Using Salt Brine

ثبت نشده
چکیده

Background There are a variety of marine worm species that commonly inhabit the benthic sediment of oyster growing areas. Because of the oysters proximity to the substrate, benthic worms may often be found in the external crevices of oyster shells. As well, the worms may inhabitant the holes in oyster shells created by the boring sponge Cliona sp. which bore holes when feeding on the oyster shell. Marine worm species do not harm the oyster, nor do they provide any public health risk

Denitrification potential of the eastern oyster microbiome using a 16S rRNA gene based metabolic inference approach

The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a foundation species providing significant ecosystem services. However, the roles of oyster microbiomes have not been integrated into any of the services, particularly nitrogen removal through denitrification. We investigated the composition and denitrification potential of oyster microbiomes with an approach that combined 16S rRNA gene analysis, me...

Living oysters and their shells as sites of nitrification and denitrification.

Oysters provide a critical habitat, are a food resource for higher trophic levels and support important commercial fisheries throughout the world. Oyster reefs can improve water quality by removing phytoplankton. While sediment denitrification may be enhanced adjacent to oyster reefs, little is known about nitrification and denitrification associated with living oysters and their shells. We mea...
