  • Ecophysiology of Marine Bivalves : Physiological Rate Processes in Dynamic Environments

    Creator:
    Gray, Matthew W.
    Abstract:
    Marine bivalves are globally recognized as ecologically and commercially valuable species and, for over a century, researchers have been studying their feeding, digestion and other related physiological processes. These studies have shown that marine bivalves have complex feeding and particle processing behaviors to maximize growth in dynamic environmental conditions. Additionally,...

  • Re‐establishment of the native oyster, Ostrea conchaphila, in Netarts Bay, Oregon, USA

    Creator:
    Archer, Pamela Emily
    Abstract:
    Olympia oysters, “Ostrea conchaphila,” were once common along the west coast of North America. A popular delicacy, native oyster populations began to decline in the late 1800’s due to over‐harvest, degraded water quality, and habitat loss. Interest in re‐establishing the native oyster in a small Oregon estuary, Netarts Bay, culminated...

  • Identification of optimal broodstock for Pacific Northwest oysters

    Creator:
    Stick, David A.
    Abstract:
    The United States Pacific Northwest is well known for its shellfish farming. Historically, commercial harvests were dominated by the native Olympia oyster, Ostrea lurida, but over-exploitation, habitat degradation, and competition and predation by non-native species has drastically depleted their densities and extirpated many local populations. As a result, shellfish aquaculture...

  • Communicating science : developing an exhibit with scientists and educators

    Creator:
    Lemagie, Emily
    Abstract:
    Outreach is a small, but significant component to modern research. Developing an exhibit for public display can be an effective way to communicate science to broad audiences, although it may be a less familiar method to scientists than writing papers or giving presentations. I outline the process of developing an...
