Studies were done to track these problems to try and control them. The studies linked the Vibrio paraheamolyticus to contaminated oyster from the Galveston Bay. Water temperature, salinity, and fecal coliform levels were tested at contaminated sites and compared to pre-contamination readings. This illness was contracted by people eating raw oysters from the area. Future prevention can be conducted by sampling and closely monitoring the environmental trigger points.Vibrio parahaemolyticuspublic healthpollution controlBook
