Investigating how coastal stressors affect oysters: Q&A with Tiahnna Dalpezzo

As a CELS Summer Research Fellow in Dr. Jonathan Purtiz’s lab, Tiahnna Dalpezzo investigated how different algae diets affect nutrient uptake and growth in juvenile Eastern oysters. Her work was part of a larger research effort examining how coastal stressors such as ocean acidification and low oxygen affect marine populations.
