Subject Molluscan Fisheries
 
Description Perkinsus marinus (Dermocystidium marinum) commonly known as "Dermo" is one of the
causative pathogens for widespread mortalities in oysters. In the natural population of oysters at Tuticorin,
oyster tissues cultured in fluid thioglycollate medium with dextrose fortified with antibiotics were found
to be Infected with P. marinus.
This is the first time that this pathogen has been reported from Indian waters. The incidence of
infection in oysters ranged from 10 to 60%. The weighted incidence ranging from 0.05 to 0.35
indicates the very light level of Infection.
