P.E.I. oyster farmers fear without government help, MSX parasite will kill industry
- Prince Edward Island's oyster industry is facing a threat from a parasite known as MSX, which has the potential to destroy their livelihoods.
- The industry is calling for more research and government action to help manage the spread of the parasite, which typically kills about 95% of affected mollusks within two to three years of infection.
- The P.E.I. Shellfish Association president Bob MacLeod and P.E.I. Aquaculture Alliance executive director Peter Warris are among those advocating for measures to protect the oysters from infection and compensate farmers for losses this spring.
