Hyperspectral remote sensing of wild oyster reefs

open access: yesEstuarine, Coastal and Shelf Science, 2016
The invasion of the wild oyster Crassostrea gigas along the western European Atlantic coast has generated changes in the structure and functioning of intertidal ecosystems. Considered as an invasive species and a trophic competitor of the cultivated conspecific oyster, it is now seen as a resource by oyster farmers following recurrent mass summer ...

From artificial structures to self-sustaining oyster reefs

open access: yesJournal of Sea Research, 2016
Coastal ecosystems are increasingly recognized as essential elements within coastal defence schemes and coastal adaptation. The capacity of coastal ecosystems, like marshes and oyster reefs, to maintain their own habitat and grow with sea-level rise via ...

IMPACT OF OYSTER REEFS ON WAVES AND EROSION

Coastal Sediments 2023, 2023
Tidal flats in estuaries and tidal basins face the threat of drowning due to accelerated sea level rise in the (near) future. On top of this, human interventions further pressure tidal flats. Measures to reduce erosion of tidal flats are therefore needed. Oyster reefs can lead to wave attenuation and subsequent reduced erosion.

In situ metabolism of an oyster reef

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1992
Abstract The in situ metabolism of an oyster reef in North Inlet, South Carolina, was observed for 1 yr using a portable plastic tunnel technique. The fluxes of oxygen, Chl a and ammonium to and from the reef were determined every 10.2 days (33 tidal cycles) for 1 yr and the technique of regression estimation was used to compute annual estimates. The

The biogeography of trophic cascades on US oyster reefs

Ecology Letters, 2014
AbstractPredators can indirectly benefit prey populations by suppressing mid‐trophic level consumers, but often the strength and outcome of trophic cascades are uncertain. We manipulated oyster reef communities to test the generality of potential causal factors across a 1000‐km region.

Eastern Oyster Recruitment Patterns on and Near Natural Reefs: Implications for the Design of Oyster Reef Restoration Projects

Journal of Shellfish Research, 2020
The spatial relationship between adult eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica populations and recruitment to the benthos of their offspring is not well understood. It is well established that larvae can be widely dispersed, but the relationship between dispersal potential and actual recruitment patterns across the full range of spatial scales involved ...
