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.

Unprecedented Restoration of a Native Oyster Metapopulation

Science, 2009
Restoring Oysters Populations and wild fisheries of native oyster species have collapsed worldwide because of overfishing and habitat destruction, resulting in severe ecosystem alteration and degradation. Expensive restoration efforts have met with little success, leading to the introduction of non-native oyster ...

Ecosystem services related to oyster restoration [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2007
The importance of restoring filter-feeders, such as the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica, to mitigate the effects of eutrophication (e.g. in Chesapeake Bay) is currently under debate. The argument that bivalve molluscs alone cannot control phytoplankton blooms and reduce hypoxia oversimplifies a more complex issue, namely that ecosystem engineering

Integrating Larval Dispersal, Permitting, and Logistical Factors Within a Validated Habitat Suitability Index for Oyster Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Habitat suitability index (HSI) models are increasingly used to guide ecological restoration. Successful restoration is a byproduct of several factors, including physical and biological processes, as well as permitting and logistical considerations ...

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.

Variation in Survival and Gut Microbiome Composition of Hatchery-Grown Native Oysters at Various Locations within the Puget Sound

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
The Olympia oyster (Ostrea lurida) of the Puget Sound suffered a dramatic population crash, but restoration efforts hope to revive this native species. One overlooked variable in the process of assessing ecosystem health is association of bacteria with ...

Oyster and Barnacle Recruitment Dynamics on and Near a Natural Reef in China: Implications for Oyster Reef Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oysters and barnacles are dominant inhabitants of natural and restored oyster reefs around the world, and high areal coverage of barnacles at natural or restored reefs commonly decreases substrate accessibility for oyster settlement.
