POTSDAM -- Clarkson University Biology Professor Dr. Andrew David was recently awarded funding from the Nantucket Biodiversity Initiative and the Nantucket Shellfish Association to examine the cause of aquatic diseases in farmed shellfish in the waters around Nantucket Island.
The funded research is expected to begin in July and will involve working closely with biologists on the island and staff at the Brant Point Hatchery.
David will be investigating anecdotal reports on recent spikes of polychaete worm infestations on bay scallops.
David will be spending more than a week on the island examining dozens of farmed oysters and carrying out taxonomic and molecular analysis on the parasites.
