Resumen
Descripción
Several studies on the culture of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas have been carried out since 1997 in the lagoon of Barra de Navidad (Jalisco, México). The presence of mud blisters in the oyster inner valves caused by shell-boring polychaetes has represented one of the main culture problems. Boccardia sp. (Polychaete: Spionidae) was identified from the mud blisters of 60 oysters. Despite the commercial significance of this organism to the oyster culture, there is a lack of information about its impact over the Mexican shellfish industry. This paper represents the first report on the presence of this worm in an oyster culture facility located at the mid coast of the Mexican Pacific
