| Notes | This short article describes recent and ongoing oyster-growing activities on the Oregon Coast. In Netarts Bay, the Pacific Oyster Company was “developing 600 acres of oyster land” and transplanting Japanese oysters into the bay. Yaquina Bay had seen its native Olympia oysters decline, had tried Eastern oysters, “a venture which was not attended with great success,” and was about to experiment with Japanese oysters. Experimental plantings of oysters in Nehalem Bay had done well and there were plans to plant both Eastern and Japanese oysters there. A succinct and highly informative summary of activities. |
