Tidal emersion effects on universal metrics, elemental contents, and health conditions of Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) on artificial reefs in Yellow River Delta, China

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023
Oysters form natural reefs and are important coastal foundation species that provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Clarification of the mechanisms by which tidal emersion affects oyster reef performance will help guide and direct future oyster reef

Fish and invertebrate use of restored vs. natural oyster reefs in a shallow temperate latitude estuary

Ecosphere, 2022
Coastal marine habitats continue to be degraded, thereby compelling large‐scale restoration in many parts of the world. Whether restored habitats function similarly to natural habitats and fully recover lost ecosystem services is unclear.

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

Drone lidar-derived surface complexity metrics as indicators of intertidal oyster reef condition

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) generate structurally complex reef systems that offer diverse ecosystem services. However, there is limited understanding of how reef structure translates into reef condition.

Denitrification and nutrient assimilation on a restored oyster reef [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2013
At a restored reef site and a control site in the Choptank River, Maryland, USA, we partially quantified the effect of oyster reef resto- ration on the removal of nutrients from the water column by determining seasonal fluxes of oxygen (O2), ammonium (NH4 + ), combined nitrate and nitrite (NO2+3), di-nitrogen (N2) and soluble reactive phosphorus (SRP ...

Mapping the global funding landscape for coral reef restoration [PDF]

, 2021
Coral reef restoration is increasingly recommended as an active management strategy to address the deterioration of the state and expanse of coral reefs.

A restoration suitability index model for the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in the Mission-Aransas Estuary, TX, USA.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Oyster reefs are one of the most threatened marine habitats on earth, with habitat loss resulting from water quality degradation, coastal development, destructive fishing practices, overfishing, and storm impacts.

Oyster Reefs at Risk and Recommendations for Conservation, Restoration, and Management

BioScience, 2011
Native oyster reefs once dominated many estuaries, ecologically and economically. Centuries of resource extraction exacerbated by coastal degradation have pushed oyster reefs to the brink of functional extinction worldwide. We examined the condition of oyster reefs across 144 bays and 44 ecoregions; our comparisons of past with present abundances ...

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.

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 ...
