Item 40th reunion of Battle of Peleliu, Palau islands. February 1984(2011-08-12T18:46:15Z) Ray, Sammy MItem Artificial oyster substrate: coal ash pellets(2011-08-03T13:37:30Z) Ray, Sammy MCoal ash is a waste product of coal-fired power generation. A potential good use for the ash is as a substrate for growing oysters. Dr. Ray demonstrates his experiments with this substrate.Item Australian oyster industry(2004-02) Ray, Sammy MItem Culture method(2011-04) Ray, Sammy MItem Current status of dermo disease in oysters of Matagorda and Aransas Bay Systems(2011-04) Culbertson, Jan; Pollack, Jennifer; Ray, Sammy MThere is a great interest in restoration of oyster reefs in the Gulf of Mexico as a result of destruction brought on by three major hurricanes (Katrina, Rita, Ike) and the more recent BP oil spill Oyster populations are declining. Disease and predation are significant contributors to this decline. The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the role of these factors as headwinds to the restoration of oyster reefs in the Gulf of MexicoItem Current status of dermo disease, Perkinsus marinus, and oyster harvest in West Bay, Galveston, Texas(2011-08-03T13:37:35Z) Ray, Sammy MThe coastal areas of Texas received above normal rainfall during 2006 and 2007. Thereby reducing the salinity in West Bay, the high salinity arm of the Galveston Bay system. This condition has resulted in reduced Dermo disease intensity in oysters and increased oyster harvest. West Bay water salinity usually varies from the high 20’s to the low 30’s ppt. In 2007 the salinity generally ranged 20 +/- 2ppt. Although the incidence of Dermo infections remained high, the intensity of (weighted incidence) was below usual levels. Preliminary results of studies regarding Dermo infections of oyster spat show that infection initiation is “proximity” dependant. Speculation is advanced regarding the observation that intertidal oyster populations appear to survive Dermo disease better than subtidal populations.Item Dermo log 2009-2010(2010-11-18) Culbert, Jan; Ray, Sammy MSpreadsheet of data for dermocystidian marinum incidence in oysters on reefs along the coast of Texas.Item Dermo Summary 1998-2007(2010-12-09) Ray, Sammy M; Culbert, JanSpreadsheet of cumulated incidence of dermocystidan marinum disease of oysters in Texas from 1998 - 2007.Item DermoWatch : Gulf-Wide Coverage for Dermo Disease in Oysters(2011-08-18T15:18:14Z) Robinson, Lance; Kortright, Enrique V; Soniat, Thomas M; Ray, Sammy MDermoWatch is a web site (www.dermowatch.org), a monitoring program, and an online community for the management of the oyster parasite, Perkinsus marinus, and monitoring freshwater inflowsItem DermoWatch: Gulf-wide coverage for dermo disease in oysters(2011-08-12T19:28:30Z) Robinson, Lance; Kortright, Enrique V; Soniat, Thomas M; Ray, Sammy MItem DermoWatch: Monitoring the health of Galveston Bay with Oysters(2011-08-12T18:31:29Z) Robinson, Lance; Kortright, Enrique V; Soniat, Thomas M; Ray, Sammy MItem Eastern oyster: a common estuarine invertebrate that sparked the birth of Texas A&M's Oceanography Department(2011-08-12T18:14:45Z) Ray, Sammy MItem Estuarine ecology(2011-08-12T18:15:16Z) Ray, Sammy MItem Freshwater inflow meeting relative to the Matagorda Bay System; October 10, 2006(2011-08-12T18:25:32Z) Robinson, Lance; Kortright, Enrique V; Soniat, Thomas M; Ray, Sammy MItem Galveston Bay System oyster reefs(2011-08-12T18:32:26Z) Ray, Sammy MItem Galveston Bay Travelog(2011-08-12T18:35:08Z) Ray, Sammy MItem How to make medium(2011) Ray, Sammy MDescription of how to create media for the culturing of dermocystidian marinum in oysters.Item Intensity scale(2011) Ray, Sammy MScale for measuring the intensity of dermocystidian marinum disease in oysters.
