TLDR
It is concluded that oysters have the ability to feed at nearly all stages of settlement and metamorphosis and that hypoxic conditions will affect the feeding activities of only the youngest post-settlement oysters while microxic conditions will affected all post- settling oysters.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Hypoxia: from molecular responses to ecosystem responses
TL;DR: Hypoxia affects thousands of km2 of marine waters all over the world, and has caused mass mortality of marine animals, benthic defaunation and decline in fisheries production in many places.

The Assessment of Marine Pollution - Bioassays with Bivalve Embryos and Larvae
TL;DR: Bioassays have increasingly come into use during the past three decades and are now commonly employed to ascertain the biological effects of pure chemicals, as well as to determine the quality of effluents, coastal waters and sediments sampled in the field.

Integrating paleobiology, archeology, and history to inform biological conservation.
Torben C. Rick,Rowan Lockwood +1 more
TL;DR: It is argued that linking historical ecology explicitly with conservation can help unify related disciplines of conservation paleobiology, conservation archeology, and environmental history and establish more complete baselines for restoration, document a historical range of ecological variability, and assist in determining desired future conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of phytoplankton diet mixtures on microalgae consumption, larval development and settlement of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg)
TL;DR: In this article, the nutritional value of microalgae for larval development and metamorphosis was evaluated for three weeks from D larvae to young postlarvae and bispecific diets, based on different T and Cp proportions, were assessed during a similar period.
Oyster reef habitat restoration : a synopsis and synthesis of approaches; proceedings from the symposium, Williamsburg, Virginia, April 1995
TL;DR: Today, destruction of the oyster's prime habitat in the Chesapeake, the natural, self-renewing upthrusting oyster reefs, is nearing completion.

The American oyster: Crassostrea virginica Gmelin
TL;DR: Ostrea was given by Linnaeus (1758) to a number of mollusks which he described as follows: "Tethys, testa bivalvis inaequivalvis, subaurita. Vulva anusve nulius" as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The estimation of filtering rate from the clearance of suspensions
TL;DR: A graphical method is described by which the filtering rate can be obtained directly from the ratio between the initial and final concentration of suspension, obviating the need for individual calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth and the delay of metamorphosis of the larvae of Mytilus edulis (L.)
TL;DR: The rate of growth of Mytilus larvae increased with increased temperature from 10–18° C, but from 13–13° C the growth was relatively temperature-independent, and at temperatures higher than 18° C larvae from a littoral area grew at a slightly increased rate, but larvae from an sub-littoran area showed decline of the growth rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Current Speed, Body Size and Water Temperature On the Filtration Rate of Five Species of Bivalves
TL;DR: In this article, the rate of water filtration by bivalves has long excited interest, but it has in practice proved difficult to measure in conditions where the animal is relatively free from constraint.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure and Physiology of the Organs of Feeding and Digestion in Ostrea edulis
TL;DR: The anatomy and histology of the food collecting and alimentary organs of the adult oyster are described and the importance of the various selective mechanisms emphasized.
