The development of multiplex PCR assays for the rapid identification of multiple Saccostrea species, and their practical applications in restoration and aquaculture

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background The ecology and biology of oysters (Ostreidae) across the tropics is poorly understood. Morphological plasticity and shared characteristics among oysters have resulted in the misidentification of species, creating challenges for understanding ...

Estimation of Roughness Height on Oyster Reefs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans
AbstractOyster reefs play a crucial role in coastal protection by attenuating waves and currents, thereby contributing to coastal stability. This protective function is largely due to the significantly greater roughness height of oyster reefs than bare sand surfaces.

Abundance, biomass and size structure of eastern oyster and hooked mussel on a modular artificial reef [PDF]

, 2006
: Restoration efforts with native Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, in Chesapeake Bay have been extensive, and there has been a continuing search for reef structures that will be effective under a range of environmental conditions.

PELAGIC FISH DIVERSITY AND DENSITY ON AND OFF RESTORED OYSTER REEF HABITAT

, 2017
The heterogeneity provided by structured habitats is important in supporting diverse and dense fish communities. The biogenic reefs created by the native Eastern Oyster, Crassostrea virginica, were once the dominant structural habitat in Chesapeake Bay ...

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.

Temporal Insensitivity of Willingness to Pay: How do they evaluate in CVM?

In addition to scope and scale embedding effects, temporal insensitivity of willingness to pay, also known as temporal embedding effect, has been a well known anomaly in eliciting willingness to pay for environmental quality change, especially over time.
