Routine handling of oysters is a common industry practice for off-bottom oyster aquaculture, which aims to produce a high-quality oyster. These practices expose oysters to elevated temperatures and interrupt filter feeding, which can increase Vibrio vulnificus andV.parahaemolyticuslevels within the oyster. The resubmersion of oysters after exposure to conditions where the time-temperature controls are exceeded is as an effective mitigation strategy to allow elevated levels of Vibrio spp. to “recover”, or return to ambient levels, prior to harvest. Previous work examined the effect of desiccation on recovery times; the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of additional handling treatments [tumbled and refrigerated (TR), tumbled and not refrigerated (TNR), not tumbled and refrigerated (NTR), and not tumbled and not refrigerated (NTNR)] on the time needed forV.vulnificus,totalV.parahaemolyticus,and pathogenicV.parahaemolyticus(tdh+/trh+) to recover in oysters. A set of non-treated (control) oysters remained submerged throughout the study to determine the ambientVibriospp. (inclusive of genotypes) levels within oysters.Vibriospp. levels were measured immediately before (pre) and after (post) the treatments, and 1, 2, 4, 7, 10, and 14 days after resubmersion using a three-tube MPN real-time PCR method. The non-refrigerated oysters (TNR, NTNR) hadVibriospp. levels 1.54 to 2.10 log MPN/g higher than the pre-treatment levels, while theVibriospp. levels in refrigerated oysters were not significantly higher than pre-treatment levels. After resubmersion,Vibriospp. levels increased by 0.84 to 1.78 log MPN/g in the refrigerated oysters (TR, NTR).Vibriospp. levels in oysters returned to ambient after 1–7 days of resubmersion, depending on the handling treatment and theVibriospp. These results provide data on handling treatments not previously reported and further support the seven-day resubmersion requirement for farmers in Alabama using the adjustable longline system.
