• Description:
  Fluctuations in water quality characteristics influence the productivity of blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus), and the risk of human exposure to pathogenic Vibrio species. Thus, this study assessed the prevalence of total and pathogenic/clinical markers of Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus in blue crabs and seawater from the Maryland Coastal Bays (MCBs) and the correlation between Vibrio levels and physicochemical parameters.
