DISEASES OF WILD, CAPTIVE AND CULTURED SCALLOPS
Abstract
Mass mortalities of wild, captive and cultured scallops have been frequently reported. The cailses of such mortalities and population fluctuations have not been established. A review of specific diseases of scallops is presented and the following newly reported diseases are discussed. Odostomia spp. and Polydora spp. are important predators and shell inhabitants of captive and cultured scallops. Rickettsial infections in the bay scallop are reported. Bacterial infections, especially vibriosis, are common in cultured scallop larvae. Protozoan infections and fouling are common and may be pathogenic. These include algal infections of mantle tissue, environmental dinoflagellate blooms (e.g., Prorocentrum spp.), renal coccidia, Hexamita spp., trichodina‐like organisms, and others. A variety of helminth parasites, especially in adductor muscle tissues, are of public health importance. Fouling organisms are common in captive and cultured populations. Sabellaria vulgaris, a polychaete, is an important lethal fouling agent for wild bay scallops. Motile scallops differ from many other bivalves by their anatomical and physiological predisposition to traumatic injuries, fouling and predation. Specific diseases can be most readily observed in captive and cultured populations, increasing our understanding of diseases of wild stock and young larval and juvenile stages.

“Therefore, parasites that are morphologically similar to BSM have been previously described in A. irradians in the region.”

“Based on this information, it is quite reasonable to think that the BSM observed in 2019 is not a new parasite infecting scallops in the Peconic Bays of New York and it could have been described as early as 1972 by Leibovitz et al.39.”

In the citing paper
“Light infections, characterized by the presence of a very limited number of BSM or BSM-like cells, have been found to do little harm to scallops as the structure of infected tissues remains unaltered, while the presence of heavy infections often leads to considerable kidney degradation, spread of the parasite to other organs, and eventually heavy mortalities (39, this study).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
