| Notes | Oyster growers in the Pacific Northwest operate under a wide range of environmental conditions, from the sedate waters of Puget Sound to the dynamic coastal seas. How can Pacific oysters be bred to increase yields in such different conditions? This article describes a study of oysters grown in nine different test localities, describes the test results and outlines a strategy for increasing yield while maintaining genetic diversity. |
