  • National Review of Ostrea Angasi Aquaculture: Historical Culture, Current Methods and Future Priorities
    National review of Ostrea angasi aquaculture: historical culture, current methods and future priorities Christine Crawford Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies ! [email protected] " secure.utas.edu.au/profles/staff/imas/Christine-Crawford Executive summary Currently in Australia Ostrea angasi oysters (angasi) are being cultured on a small scale, with several farmers growing relatively small numbers of angasis on their predominately Sydney rock or Pacifc oyster farms. Very few farmers are culturing commercially viable quantities of angasi oysters. There are several reasons for this. Although angasi oysters occur in the intertidal zone, they are naturally most abundant in the subtidal and are less tolerant of fuctuating environmental conditions, especially temperature and salinity, than other oyster species. They also have a much shorter shelf life and start to gape after one to two days. Additionally, angasi oysters are susceptible to Bonamiosis, a parasitic disease which has caused major mortalities in several areas. Stress caused by extremes or a combination of factors such as high stocking densities, rough handling, poor food, high temperatures and low salinities have all been observed to increase the prevalence of Bonamiosis. Growth rates of angasi oysters have also been variable, ranging from two to four years to reach market size. From discussions with oyster famers, managers and researchers and from a review of the literature I suggest that the survival and growth of cultured angasi oysters could be signifcantly improved by altering some farm management practices. Firstly, growout techniques need to be specifcally developed for angasi oysters which maintain a low stress environment (not modifcations from other oysters).

PERKINS Virginia In stitute of Marine Science. School of Marine Science, College of William and Mary Gloucester Point, Virginia 23062, USA Abstral'I.-The literature on the structure of protists parasitizing bivalve molluscs is reviewed, and previously unpubli shed observations of species of class Perkinsea, phylum Haplosporidia, and class Paramyxea are presented. Descriptions are given of the flagellar apparatus of Perkin.His marinus zoospores, the ultrastructure of Perkinsus sp. from the Baltic macoma Maconw balthica, and the development of haplosporosome-like bodies in Haplosporidium nelsoni. The possible origin of stem cells of Marreilia sydneyi from the inner two sporoplasms is discussed. New research efforts are suggested which could help elucidate the phylogenetic interrelationships and taxonomic positions of the various taxa and help in efforts to better understand life cycles of selected species. Studies of the structure of protistan parasites terization of the parasite species, to elucidation of found in bivalve moll uscs have been fruitful to the many parasite life cycles, and to knowledge of morphologist interested in comparative morphol- parasite metabolism.
