To determine the efficacy of different methods of oyster habitat restoration methods in enhancing juvenile life-history traits, this study compared the settlement, growth and mortality of wild juvenile Olympia oysters among three shell treatments: (1) bagged shells and (2) loose shells, which are commonly used methods of oyster habitat restoration, and (3) rafted-line shells, which is a method used by the Oregon Oyster Farm of Yaquina Bay to commercially grow their Pacific oysters.
