Dynamics of Restored and Natural Oyster Reefs After a Hurricane

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Restoration of shellfish reefs has increased exponentially over the past two decades, due in part to increased awareness of widespread oyster habitat loss.

Oyster reefs as carbon sources and sinks [PDF]

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2017
Carbon burial is increasingly valued as a service provided by threatened vegetated coastal habitats. Similarly, shellfish reefs contain significant pools of carbon and are globally endangered, yet considerable uncertainty remains regarding shellfish reefs' role as sources (+) or sinks (−) of atmospheric CO 2 . While

Seasonal variations in the diversity and benthic community structure of subtidal artificial oyster reefs adjacent to the Luanhe River Estuary, Bohai Sea

Scientific Reports, 2023
Artificial oyster reefs provide important spawning and nursery grounds for a variety of fishes and large mobile crustaceans. Between July 2016 and May 2017, seasonal surveys of species composition and community structure were performed in the artificial ...

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.

Structural and Functional Improvements of Coastal Ecosystem Based on Artificial Oyster Reef Construction in the Bohai Sea, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oyster reefs are gaining more and more attention in marine ranching and coastal ecosystem restoration, but tremendous knowledge gaps still exist. In this study, we developed trophic models for the established artificial oyster reef (EAOR), newly deployed

How dense is dense? Toward a harmonized approach to characterizing reefs of non-native Pacific oysters – with consideration of native mussels [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2020
Pacific oysters Crassostrea (Magallana) gigas have been successfully invading ecosystems worldwide. As an ecosystem engineer, they have the potential to substantially impact on other species and on functional processes of invaded ecosystems.

Oyster larvae settle in response to habitat-associated underwater sounds. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Following a planktonic dispersal period of days to months, the larvae of benthic marine organisms must locate suitable seafloor habitat in which to settle and metamorphose.

The potential impact of human interventions at different scales in offshore wind farms to promote flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) reef development in the southern North Sea

Aquatic Living Resources, 2023
Incorporation of ecology and ecosystem services into marine infrastructural developments has gained interest over the last decades. Growing attention is given to combine the massive roll-out of offshore wind farms in the North Sea with reinstating the ...

Success of concrete and crab traps in facilitating Eastern oyster recruitment and reef development [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
Background Abundance of the commercially and ecologically important Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, has declined across the US Eastern and Gulf coasts in recent decades, spurring substantial efforts to restore oyster reefs.
