Bacteriophages against Vibrio coralliilyticus and Vibrio tubiashii: Isolation, Characterization, and Remediation of Larval Oyster Mortalities

Abstract
Shellfish hatcheries encounter episodic outbreaks of larval oyster mortalities, jeopardizing the economic stability of hatcheries and the commercial shellfish industry. Shellfish pathogens like Vibrio coralliilyticus and Vibrio tubiashii have been recognized as major contributors of larval oyster mortalities in U.S.
