Due to declines in native oyster populations and restrictions of harvesting of native oysters in environmentally compromised historical areas there is an increased need to develop alternative native oyster cultivation sites. Experimental work was carried out in 2019 to settle native oysters in extensive conditions using different substrates. The resulting spat were deployed at the end of 2019 to experimental nursery sites with a view to determining whether or not nursery culture is a viable strategy in boosting native oyster populations in a managed fishery. Growth and survival were monitored throughout 2020 in the different nursery sites in the different systems.
