Comparison of the effects of reef and anthropogenic soundscapes on oyster larvae settlement [PDF]

Scientific Reports
AbstractSettlement is a critical period in the life cycle of marine invertebrates with a planktonic larval stage. For reef-building invertebrates such as oysters and corals, settlement rates are predictive for long-term reef survival. Increasing evidence suggests that marine invertebrates use information from ocean soundscapes to inform settlement ...

Bank erosion drastically reduces oyster reef filtration services in estuarine environments

Scientific Reports
Oyster reefs near estuarine channels have experienced substantial mortality over the last decades, primarily due to bank erosion, potentially exacerbated by boat activity. Using aerial imagery, we measured bank erosion along the Intracoastal Waterway and

A Study of Four Oyster Reefs in Mississippi

Gulf Research Reports, 1979
A study of four oyster populations in Mississippi over 13 months (May 1978-May 1979) indicates that although oysters are sexually developed during most of the year (10 months), setting was variable in intensity, dependent upon location, and limited in all cases to one or two months.

Four key reforms to enhance sustainable management of oyster reefs

Oysters are critical ecosystem engineers, and the reefs they create contribute dramatically to the health, sustainability, and resilience of coastal ecosystems. However, oyster reefs are critically under threat.

Fish abundance is enhanced within a network of artificial reefs in a large estuary

Frontiers in Marine Science
Artificial reefs may be created within estuaries for multiple reasons, including habitat enhancement, oyster production, or recreational fishing. While traditional sampling in this environment is difficult due to complex structures and the high turbidity

Artificial oyster reefs can facilitate the recovery of lost ecosystem function in fragmented seagrass habitat

Ecosphere
Seagrasses suffer population decline when environmental stress exceeds physiological tolerance. In such instances, seagrass restoration can be successful if stressors are alleviated; however, many stressors cannot be addressed at a local scale.
