| Notes | In the summer of 1931, the author investigated Tillamook, Netarts, and Alsea bays to determine their suitability for oyster culture. He also investigated the state of oyster growing in Yaquina Bay, the only place in the state where oysters were grown commercially. This is an unpublished manuscript that was distributed locally. "Netarte Bay receives very little drainage from the surrounding upland, and the salinity during the rainy seasons probably will not adversely affect the oysters." (p.1) |
