As biodiversity declines‚ the causes have become evident: habitat destruction‚ pollution and overexploitation.

The purpose of this lab is to analyze the conductivity and salinity of water simple from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. Oysters can live with a salinity level range from 10ptt-to 27ppt‚ but there is a parasite called protozoan that causes a disease known as MSX in oysters‚ that arise when salinity level of the water reach 15ppt. Therefore‚ aquaculture facility usually plants oysters in areas where salinity level are between 10ppt-to12ppt to avoid any risk of the protozoan. Oysters deliver nutrients
