Abstract
Objectives: 1. To construct a cDNA library using healthy and stressed oysters. 2. To design and print DNA microarray slides for the analysis of diseased states in pearl oysters (P. maxima). 3. To use the DNA microarray to identify molecular markers that differentiate between pearl oysters that are stressed from those that appear to be healthy. To use the DNA microarray to test for markers of adverse health in pearl oysters that appear to be affected by environmental stressors other than OOD.
