@mastersthesis {83152, title = {Comparison of Habitat Restoration and Enhancement Methods for Olympia Oysters (Ostrea lurida) in Yaquina Bay, Oregon}, year = {2018}, note = {The native Olympia oyster played an important role in the history and pre-history of Yaquina Bay, from sustaining Native Americans to providing an economic incentive for the development of the town of Newport. Due to pollution and over-fishing, the Olympia oyster came close to disappearing from Yaquina Bay. Now, thanks to restoration efforts, the delicious mollusk is back. This Master{\textquoteright}s thesis explores three methods of encouraging juvenile Olympia oyster settlement. {\textquotedblleft}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 . . . {\textquotedblleft} (from the Abstract) William C.

We trapped one adult male green crab at Pony Point in Coos Bay on October 26, 1997. This crab measured 86.5 mm in carapace width and represents the largest specimen so far collected in Oregon. All the green crabs retrieved in Coos Bay have been large adults between 58 and 86 mm. We searched gravel substrates below boulders and algal blades, but never recovered any young-of the-year-green crabs in Coos, Winchester, Yaquina or Siletz Bays. These findings suggest that one year class (perhaps 1995) established itself in Coos Bay, but at present is not abundant enough to perpetuate itself.{\textquotedblright} (from the Abstract)}, institution = {Oregon State University}, address = {Corvallis, Or.}, keywords = {algae, aquatic invertebrates, Charleston (OR.), Coos Bay, Craigie Point, Criteser{\textquoteright}s Moorage, crustaceans, European green crab = Carcinus maenas, Fucus spp., Georgia-Pacific, Hatfield Marine Science Center, Hinton Point, Idaho Point, invasive species, molluscs, Oregon Oyster Farm, Oregon shore crab = Hemigrapsus oregonensis, Pony Point, Purple shore crab = Hemigrapsus nudus, River Bend, salinity, Sawyer{\textquoteright}s Landing, Schooner Creek, Siletz Bay, spatial distribution, species list, Umpqua River estuary, Umpqua River finger jetty, Umpqua triangle, Winchester Bay, Yaquina Bay south jetty}, url = {https://ir.library.oregonstate.edu/concern/defaults/xg94hv61v}, author = {Angel, Tiah and Bassett, Zasha and Chipman, Brian and Cleveland, Kimberly and Cronick, Tamisha and Ehlig, Janette and Frerich, Dan and Hunt, Chris and Ison, Todd and McGuire, Angela and Oliver, Jennifer and Schmelter, Anja and Whitsett, Jennifer} }
