Overview

Chris Langdon is a researcher affiliated with Oregon State University in the United States. Their work is principally situated within the field of Environmental Science, with a significant focus on subfields such as Global and Planetary Change, Immunology, Aquatic Science, Ecology, and Oceanography.

Their research concentrates on topics related to Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies, Aquaculture Nutrition and Growth, Aquaculture Disease Management and Microbiota, Ocean Acidification Effects and Responses, Vibrio Bacteria Research Studies, Calcium Carbonate Crystallization and Inhibition, and Bacteriophages and Microbial Interactions.

Langdon has authored multiple research papers published in several scientific venues. These include:

  • "Genetic improvement of survival in Pacific oysters to the Tomales Bay strain of OsHV-1 over two cycles of selection" (2021, Aquaculture)
  • "A marine probiotic treatment against the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus to improve the performance of Pacific (Crassostrea gigas) and Kumamoto (C. sikamea) oyster larvae" (2022, Aquaculture)
  • "Bacteriophages against Vibrio coralliilyticus and Vibrio tubiashii: Isolation, Characterization, and Remediation of Larval Oyster Mortalities" (2021, Applied and Environmental Microbiology)
  • "Marker-assisted selection in a Pacific oyster population for an antiviral QTL conferring increased survival to OsHV-1 mortality events in Tomales Bay" (2023, Aquaculture)
  • "Effect of larval density on growth and survival of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in a recirculation aquaculture system" (2021, Aquaculture)

Frequently publishing in the journal Aquaculture, Langdon's work also appears in Proceedings of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Frontiers in Immunology, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, and Evolutionary Applications.

They collaborate regularly with several coauthors, highlighting established research partnerships with Konstantin Divilov, Blaine Schoolfield, Carla B. Schubiger, Ryan Mueller, and Evan Durland.
