| Notes | Early development of oyster larvae requires great expenditures of energy to create and form shells. Understanding the stresses young oysters are undergoing is important, particularly in a context of ocean acidification, which imposes additional stress. This paper details the histories of three cohorts of Pacific oyster larvae grown in 2011 in Netarts Bay and uses isotopic analyses to track conditions that stress but do not kill larval oysters. |
