The effects of atrazine on the microbiome of the eastern oyster: Crassostrea virginica. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2020 AbstractLong-standing evidence supports the importance of maintaining healthy populations of microbiota for the survival, homeostasis, and complete development of marine mollusks. However, the long-term ecological effects of agricultural runoff on these populations remains largely unknown.

Successful recruitment, survival and long-term persistence of eastern oyster and hooked mussel on a subtidal, artificial restoration reef system in Chesapeake Bay. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 Restoration efforts with native eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, in Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere have been limited by shell availability, necessitating the use of alternative structures as subtidal reefs, yet these have rarely been evaluated ...

Oysters in an Eastern Estuary [PDF]
The Bulletin of the Ecological Society of America, 2014 Photo 1. Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were deployed at three densities in mesh cages suspended above sand-filled boxes at four sites in Jamaica Bay, New York City. Controls consisted of boxes with empty cages attached. (A) All boxes (N = 20 per site) were attached to a trot line between two cinderblocks, and deployed subtidally.
