Barriers to Eastern Oyster Aquaculture Expansion in Virginia [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
The eastern oyster once provided major societal and ecosystem benefits, but these benefits have been threatened in recent decades by large declines in oyster harvests. In many areas, recovery of oyster aquaculture faces significant societal opposition and spatial constraints limiting its ability to meet expectations regarding future food needs and ...

Successful eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) recruitment on intertidal artificial substrates in Virginia, USA

Ecosphere
Declines of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations and scarcity of natural oyster shell necessitate quantifying the effectiveness of artificial oyster reef substrates over varying environmental conditions.

Estimation of Intertidal Oyster Reef Density Using Spectral and Structural Characteristics Derived from Unoccupied Aircraft Systems and Structure from Motion Photogrammetry

Remote Sensing, 2022
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are an important component of the ecology and economy in coastal zones. Through the long-term consolidation of densely clustered shells, oyster reefs generate three-dimensional and complex structures that yield a ...

Localized Placement of Breakwater Reefs Influences Oyster Populations and Their Resilience after Hurricane Harvey

Ecologies, 2022
Populations of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) have been historically declining due to both natural and anthropogenic stressors. In response, oyster reefs have been created with many different approaches.

Oyster aquaculture does not impede spawning beach access for Atlantic horseshoe crabs Limulus polyphemus

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020
Farms for eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica, which are commonly located along shallow estuarine shores of the eastern USA, use a range of farm equipment and require regular access to care for and harvest oyster livestock.

De novo reefs: Fish habitat provision by oyster aquaculture varies with farming method

Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2022
Aquaculture industries have the capacity to produce positive ecosystem service benefits, such as the provision of habitat to wild animals. Oyster cultivation is the oldest and largest aquaculture industry in south-eastern Australia. Oyster spat are grown

Functional plasticity in oyster gut microbiomes along a eutrophication gradient in an urbanized estuary

Animal Microbiome, 2021
Background Oysters in coastal environments are subject to fluctuating environmental conditions that may impact the ecosystem services they provide. Oyster-associated microbiomes are responsible for some of these services, particularly nutrient cycling in

Fluxomics of the Eastern Oyster for Environmental Stress Studies [PDF]

Metabolites, 2014
The metabolism of 2-13C/15N-glycine and U-13C-glucose was determined in four tissue blocks (adductor muscle, stomach and digestive gland, mantle, and gills) of the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) using proton (1H) and carbon-13 (13C) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The oysters were treated in aerated seawater with three treatments

The impacts of recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) on epifaunal community structure and eastern oyster recruitment: Implication of using RCA as bottom conditioning material for oyster restoration and aquaculture

Current Research in Environmental Sustainability, 2020
The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) is a keystone species in the estuaries of the mid-Atlantic of the United States. Its population experienced drastic declines in the last century due to overfishing, habitat loss, and disease.
