CHARLOTTETOWN — Prince Edward Island's fisheries minister says he hopes recently announced federal funding can help develop oysters that are resistant to a parasite that is threatening a fishery vital to the province.

Cory Deagle, the P.E.I. minister, told a news conference today at the conclusion of a meeting with counterparts from across the country that the parasite could destroy the province's oyster industry. The parasite was found in oysters in P.E.I.'s Bedeque Bay and several other areas in July, leading the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to institute quarantines.

Deagle also wants research to focus on breeding oysters that have resistance to MSX."We need resistant oysters that can survive this parasite ... so that we can have an industry in the future," he said.
