Description:Year two of a monitoring program designed to chart oyster recruitment within the Sapelo Island National Estuarine Research Reserve was completed. Recruitment levels were established to serve a baseline data set for evaluating system health and augment managment protocols. Recruitment levels of oysters in 1993 were considerably reduced compared to 1992, as were levels at sites in Wassaw Sound located 100 km to the north. The decrease in recruitment was attributed to a combination of elevated water temperatures in 1993 as well as natural recruitment fluctuations. In addition, this study investigates whether differences in gametogenesis and prevalence of the protozoan parasite, Dermo, occurred at the three sites, and whether such differences may account for some of the observed variability in recruitment in the area.
