Percent mortality of oyster larvae 72 h post-inoculation with <i>V</i>. <i>coralliilyticus</i> strains.

<p>Larvae exposed to varying concentrations of <i>V</i>. <i>coralliilyticus</i> strain (A) RE98, (B) OCN008, (C) OCN014, (D) BAA-450, (E) <i>Vibrio</i> sp. strain HMSC5, and (F) <i>V</i>. <i>tasmaniensis</i> strain LGP32. Light gray bars represent the mean counts from larvae incubated at 23°C; dark gray bars represent larvae at 27°C. Control wells were inoculated with sterilized seawater. An asterisk (*) indicates that larval counts are significantly different from the controls (2-way ANOVA, <i>p</i> < 0.05, <i>n</i> = 12). A dagger (†) indicates the larval counts are significantly different for experiments at 23°C versus 27°C (2-way ANOVA, <i>p</i> < 0.05, <i>n</i> = 12).
