Hines and Terry C. Wilborn) on the biology of bivalve mollusks (e.g. oyster), the effects of climate change on interannual variation in parasites and population attributes in Mississippi oysters, and the data analysis. Under my supervision, they started with gathering and organizing all the data we need, and I helped them with the calculation of prevalence and infection intensity values. We presented our results at the Seventy-Fifth Annual Mississippi Academy of Sciences Meeting (Hattiesburg, MS) in February, 2011. Kim CV Page 4 of 12 5/28/09 – 5/29/09 During this period, I trained and supervised Dr. Matthew Hare (Associate Professor, Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) and his postdoc, Dr. Martha Burford, on oyster gonad analysis. They came to Rutgers Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory to learn how to identify different oyster reproductive stages and some parasites observed in their histological slides made of eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) from several locations along the Atlantic coast of Florida. Under my supervision, they started with examining oyster histological slides from US Mussel Watch Project I prepared and then they worked on their own oyster slides. I helped them how to rank the oyster development stages. 9/13/06 – 12/21/06 During this period, I supervised Larraitz Garmendia, a Ph.D. graduate student from Department of Zoology and Cell Biology, School of Sciences and Technology, University of the Basque Country, SPAIN, on bivalve histopathology. She came to Rutgers Haskin Shellfish Research Laboratory to learn how to identify parasites and pathologic conditions in mytilid mussels. She is involved with a Project, “Integrated assessment of the impact of the Prestige Oil Spill in Galicia and in the Gulf of Biscay: toxicological, ecological, productive and socioeconomical aspects”. Under my supervision, she started with examining histological slides from US Mussel Watch Project and later she worked on her own slides from Spain. I also helped her with calculation of prevalence and infection intensity values, and with statistical analysis seeking the potential relationship of parasites and diseases in mussels with contaminant body burden.

  • Mussel Watchtand Chemical Contamination of the Coasts by Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons*
    IAEA-SM-354/117 "MUSSEL WATCHTAND CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION OF THE COASTS BY POLYCYCLIC AROMATIC HYDROCARBONS* FARRINGTON, J. W. XA9951933 Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution 360 Woods Hole Road - MS#31 Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543-1541 U. S. A. Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) enter the coastal marine environment from three general categories of sources; pyrogenic, petrogenic (or petroleum), and natural diagenesis. PAH from different sources appear to have differential biological availability related to how the PAH are sorbed, trapped, or chemically bound to particulate matter, including soot. Experience to date with bivalve sentinel organism, or "Mussel Watch", monitoring programs indicates that these programs can provide a reasonable general assessment of the status and trends of biologically available PAH in coastal ecosystems. As fossil fuel use increases in developing countries, it is important that programs such as the International Mussel Watch Program provide assessments of the status and trends of PAH contamination of coastal ecosystems of these countries. 1. INTRODUCTION Modern societies have deliberately and inadvertently discharged or released chemicals of environmental concern to the coastal ocean for decades. The serious nature of several of the ensuing problems identified in the 1960s and early 1970s demonstrated the need for an organized and systematic approach to assessing the status and trends of contamination of coastal and estuarine ecosystems by selected chemicals of major concern. Surveys in the 1960s and early 1970s involving sampling and analysis of various components of coastal and estuarine ecosystems led to the conclusion that much could be learned about spatial and temporal trends by sampling and analyzing carefully chosen populations of bivalves.
