Goal

Technique: Hatchery rearing of native oysters (and seeding) Directly seeding a submerged oyster reef with larvae and setting an additional cohort on the reef the following year. Aimed to determine whether initial setting efficiencies (spat set per larvae added) and recruitment produced by directly setting larvae in the field was comparable to that produced via the established shoreside remote setting method. Here: clean enclosure at off-site Smithsonian Environmental Research No spatial extent reported. Reported project duration 0,1 year(s). Average survival 7,0% as reported.
