	Oyster - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The "true oysters" are the members of the family Ostreidae, and this includes the edible oysters, which mainly belong to the genera Ostrea, Crassostrea, Ostreola or Saccostrea.
		Examples are the Edible Oyster, Ostrea edulis, Eastern Oyster Crassostrea virginica, Olympia Oyster Ostreola conchaphila, Pacific Oyster Crassostrea gigas, Sydney rock oyster Saccostrea glomerata, and the Wellfleet oyster (a variety of C.
		Oysters are filter-feeders that draw water in over their gills through the beating of cilia.

	Olympia Oyster - Biocrawler (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		The Olympia oyster (Ostreola conchaphila) is the native oyster of the Pacific coast of North America from Alaska to Mexico.
		The name is derived from the important 19th century oyster industry near Olympia, Washington, in Puget Sound.
		You can find it there under the keyword Ostreola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ostreola)The list of previous authors is available here: version history (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ostreolaandaction=history).

	ERF - Conference Abstract
		The native oyster of the west coast of North America, Ostreola conchaphila, supported a vibrant fishery in the late 1800s.
		In 2002 and most earlier years, recruitment of Ostreola exceeded recruitment of the introduced oyster, Crassostrea gigas, which forms extensive reefs in the bay.
		Under optimal conditions, Ostreola grew rapidly in its first summer to a shell length of 2 cm, with 40% survival.

	South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve Research Priorities
		Native Olympia oysters (Ostreola conchaphila), historically abundant in the Coos estuary and South Slough, became locally extinct prior to written history due to basin-wide changes in sedimentation.
		The restoration of self-sustaining populations of Ostreola conchaphila in Coos Bay and South Slough will be a research focus for the Reserve.
		In particular, efforts will be focused on investigating the genetic identity of potential brood stock sources, oyster transplant and cultivation techniques, life history patterns and the resistance of Ostreola conchaphila to colonization by non-indigenous species, and studying ecological interactions within tideflat communities.

	Context-Dependent Impacts of Multiple Invasive Species an a Threatened Native Species in a West Coast Estuary
		To address this issue, it may be useful to identify factors, such as habitat attributes or resident community composition, that drive variation in an invader’s density or per capita effect.
		We are investigating such factors in the impacts of two invasive oyster drills, Ceratostoma inornatum and Urosalpinx cinerea, and the introduced oyster, Crassostrea gigas, on the threatened native oyster, Ostreola conchaphila in Willapa Bay, Washington.
		In addition, observations of damage to drill shells and results from a tethering experiment indicate that predation by native cancrid crabs may significantly influence drill distribution and density.

		ABSTRACT -- Oyster landings the United States and Canada have been based mainly on three spices, the native easter oyster, Crassostrea virginica, native Olympia oyster, Ostreola conchaphila, and introduced Pacific oyster, C. gigas.
		Landings reached their peak of around 27 million bushels/year in the late 1800's and early 1900's when eastern oysters were a common food throughout the east coast nd Midwest.

		For example, community attributes such as habitat factors or resident species composition may drive variation in the density or per capita effect of a given invader.
		I am investigating such factors in the impacts of two invasive oyster drills (predatory snails, Ceratostoma inornatum and Urosalpinx cinerea), and the introduced oyster Crassostrea gigas, on the threatened native oyster Ostreola conchaphila in Willapa Bay, Washington.

		In the early 1980's, the California Department of Fish and Game demonstrated that spat of eastern and Pacific oysters, those readily available from shellfish nurseries, can be grown successfully in the Bay's waters.
		The recent discovery of small colonies of Ostreola conchaphila - the native San Francisco Bay oyster, as well as shell reefs near Bair Island and the improved water quality of the Bay, reveals that oysters could once again flourish.
		The Institute for Fisheries Resources is working with the NOAA Restoration Center to restore the natural reef habitat of the native San Francisco Bay oyster on a portion of intertidal bayland in San Mateo County.

		I am interested in learning how to conduct basic science that answers fundamental questions in marine ecology and helps inform coastal management or conservation problems.
		To this end, my dissertation research focuses on a historically abundant marine foundation species, the native California oyster Ostreola conchaphila.
		Populations of this oyster increase intertidal diversity and their restoration is a high priority for several state and federal resource agencies (Figure 1).

		Mirroring efforts already under way in Chesapeake Bay, McGowan is attempting to prove that it is possible to rebuild oyster reefs in San Francisco Bay -- gradually replacing the vast reefs of the 1800s that were smothered by gold miners' silt, poisoned by raw sewage and carved up by Barbary Coast oystermen.
