AbstractDiseases are important drivers of population and ecosystem dynamics. This review synthesizes the effects of infectious diseases on the population dynamics of nine species of marine organisms in the Chesapeake Bay. Diseases generally caused increases in mortality and decreases in growth and reproduction. Effects of diseases on eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) appear to be low in the 2000s compared to effects in the 1980s–1990s. However, the effects of disease were not well monitored for most of the diseases in marine organisms of the Chesapeake Bay, and few studies considered effects on growth and reproduction. Climate change and other anthropogenic effects are expected to alter host-pathogen dynamics, with diseases of some species expected to worsen under predicted future conditions (e.g., increased temperature). Additional study of disease prevalence, drivers of disease, and effects on population dynamics could improve fisheries management and forecasting of climate change effects on marine organisms in the Chesapeake Bay.

Marine Alien Species

The blue crab Callinectes sapidus is one of the 23 marine alien species reported for the Albanian coast so far (Beqiraj et al., 2012; Katsanevakis et al., 2011). The first scientific report on the presence of this species in the Albanian coast is in 2009, in Patoku Lagoon. The blue crab population in Patoku Lagoon had grown significantly by 2009 and the blue crab had started to be traded. The data collected in that year showed that this species is assessed to be established in the Patoku Lagoon (Beqiraj & Kashta, 2010). Special attention has been paid to the study of blue crab population in the following years during 2010 - 2015. The aim of this study is to evaluate the development and population trend of blue crab in the Patoku Lagoon referring to the data collected throughout years of study.
