Industry SurveyChallenges:

CT: 39 Firms1 large firm

4 have sent in surveysExpecting 10-15

NY: 1 large firmNot cooperating

Survey Challenges

• Industry preoccupied with Vibrio outbreak• Industry less inclined to cooperate than I had

hoped• Hopefully we can extrapolate for needed

information (NY?)• The nature of the industry is difficult to

characterize. Mortality and growth rates variable.

• Not conventional “culture” – much “relay”

Study area questions

• NY questions… resolved?
