MSX is a disease that can affect both wild and cultured oysters with 90-95% mortality. MSX is not a risk to human health, oysters from an MSX infected area are perfectly safe to eat.

PEI Aquaculture Division's Mapping Tool

The mapping tool below has been updated from the previous version to a new dashboard style. The dashboard displays summary statistics (i.e. MSX Prevalence, Dermo Prevalence, etc.) based on the sites that are displayed on the map. The summary statistics will update as users zoom in/out of an area, as well as by the selections made in the top right corner (year, sampling source and season). For more information on sampling methods and data included, please refer to the left side panel of the mapping tool below. To view the dashboard full screen, click here

 

For users that wish to use the other mapping tool, it can still be accessed here and can be added to your smartphone home screen using the instructions below. Alternatively, users can download the ArcGIS Field Maps App (click "Skip Sign In", search for "Prince Edward Island Aquaculture" and open that map; the map will then always open up with that map). The Field Maps application will give users the ability to see their current location on the map.
