  2. Oyster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oyster

    Some oysters also harbor bacterial species which can cause human disease; of importance is Vibrio vulnificus, which causes gastroenteritis, which is usually self-limiting, and cellulitis. Cellulitis can be severe and rapidly spreading, requiring antibiotics, medical care, and in some severe cases amputation.

  3. Eastern oyster - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eastern_oyster

    This means if the water around them was contaminated with oil and the dispersant used to get rid of the oil, then these chemicals were collected by the oysters as they filtered the water. [32] This is cause for great concern that the oysters are being killed by the toxins in the dispersant, as well. [32]

  4. Ostrea lurida - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostrea_lurida

    The oysters attach to the underside of rocks or onto the shells of old oyster beds. Their habitats must have water depths of 0–71 meters, ranging in temperatures of 6-20 degrees Celsius, with a salinity above 25 ppt. However, the oysters can survive in areas with streams that cause a flux in the salinity.

    Oysters are saltwater bivalve mollusks, known for being filter feeders, meaning that they get their nutrition from extracting algae and other tiny organisms from the water surrounding them.

  6. Electromagnetic absorption by water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_absorption...

    The water molecule has three fundamental molecular vibrations. The O-H stretching vibrations give rise to absorption bands with band origins at 3657 cm −1 (ν 1, 2.734 μm) and 3756 cm −1 (ν 3, 2.662 μm) in the gas phase. The asymmetric stretching vibration, of B 2 symmetry in the point group C 2v is a normal vibration.

  7. Hydrodynamic reception - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrodynamic_reception

    Detection of the water disturbance caused by this vibrissal movement should overshadow any stimulus produced by a distant fish due to its proximity. For seals, one proposal is that they might sense changes in the baseline frequency of vibration to detect hydrodynamic stimuli produced by another source.

    Oysters are experiencing mass die-offs along the US coastline, leaving farmers distraught and scientists struggling to come up with answers as to why.. For more than a decade along the East Coast ...

  9. Paralytic shellfish poisoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralytic_shellfish_poisoning

    PSP affects those who come into contact with the affected shellfish by ingestion. [1] The toxins responsible for most shellfish poisonings—mainly saxitoxin, although several other toxins have been found, such as neosaxitoxin and gonyautoxins I to IV—are water-insoluble, and heat- and acid-stable.
