©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Higher salinity habitats tend to support faster oyster growth, while lower salinity habitats act as a refuge from predation and disease but tend to slow growth. Two experiments were performed to investigate the effect of salinity juvenile oyster (also known as spat) growth. One experiment used wild oyster spat collected from three distinct Delaware Bay salinity zones that were then transplanted into various salinity conditions in the laboratory where growth was monitored (results reported in...

Equipment for these experiments included tanks, algal paste, microscopes, micrometers and calipers.
