European Native Oyster Reef Ecosystems Are Universally Collapsed

Conservation Letters, 2023
Oyster reefs are often referred to as the temperate functional equivalent of coral reefs. Yet evidence for this analogy was lacking for the European native species Ostrea edulis. Historical data provide a unique opportunity to develop a robust definition

Benthic assemblages associated with native and non-native oysters are similar [PDF]

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2016
Invasive species can impact native species and alter assemblage structure, which affects associated ecosystem functioning. The pervasive Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas, has been shown to affect the diversity and composition of many host ecosystems. We tested for effects of the presence of the invasive C. gigas on native assemblages by comparing them

Native and exotic oysters in Brazil: Comparative tolerance to hypercapnia [PDF]

Environmental Research, 2018
Environmental hypercapnia in shallow coastal marine ecosystems can be exacerbated by increasing levels of atmospheric CO2. In these ecosystems organisms are expected to become increasingly subjected to pCO2 levels several times higher than those inhabiting ocean waters (e.g.: 10,000µatm), but still our current understanding on different species ...

Fifty years of research to counter the decline of the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis): a review of French achievements and prospects for the restoration of remaining beds and revival of aquaculture production

Aquatic Living Resources, 2023
In the fifty years since the introduction of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas and the first reports of the parasites Marteilia refringens and Bonamia ostreae in European waters, numerous research projects dedicated to the native European flat oyster ...

Sex-change in the Native Oyster [PDF]

Nature, 1921
DR. ORION'S letter on the above subject published in NATURE of July 7, which I have just seen, touches a matter not only ot great biological interest, but also of marked importance in the economy of oyster fisheries. I can confirm the presence of sperm-moruae in oysters which are functioning as “white-sick” females, and also the observation that on ...

Foreign Oysters acquiring Characters of Natives [PDF]

Nature, 1901
MAY I call attention to some curious facts with regard to oyster culture? I do not know whether the evolution they undergo is brought about by Lamarckian factors, or whether it is brought about by natural selection, but no doubt a correct interpretation could be given by some of your readers.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Native and Non-native Oysters [PDF]

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Non-native species introductions are associated with a range of ecosystem changes such as habitat destruction, competition with native species, and biodiversity losses. Less well known is the role non-native species play in altering biogeochemical processes, such as the emission of greenhouse gases (GHGs).

Increased Biodiversity Associated With Abandoned Benthic Oyster Farms Highlight Ecosystem Benefits of Both Oyster Reefs and Traditional Aquaculture

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oyster reefs are structurally complex habitats which are increasingly recognized for their importance in estuarine systems. With over 85% of oyster reefs lost to human activities globally, there is increasing interest in aquaculture to not only meet the ...

Current Status of European Oyster Decline and Restoration in Germany

Humanities, 2019
Marine ecosystems of temperate regions are highly modified by human activity and far from their original natural status. The North Sea, known as an intensively used area, has lost its offshore oyster grounds due to overexploitation in a relatively short ...
