‘Hatcheries are going to play a critical role’ in the battle against the disease, says aquaculture adviser
An oyster hatchery in Bideford, P.E.I., plans to triple its seed production next year so it can respond if demand increases because of the detection of MSX in the province’s waterways.
MSX, or multinuclear sphere X, was first detected in Bedeque Bay on July 11, but it has since been confirmed in several other areas around the province.
