• Description:
  This study focuses on determining optimum size of hatchery produced oyster seed for planting and relating survival to costs. Over a two-year period several size classes of seed (single spat and spat set on whole shell) were planted at two sites (low and high salinity) and monitored for survival and growth along with temperature, salinity, and dissolved oxygen. Additional laboratory studies examined the survival of seed size classes at low dissolved oxygen concentrations and for several common predators.
