	Oysters Are Cool (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The oyster is a bivalve mollusk--also called a shellfish because it lives in a two-part shell.
		The shell is joined at one end by a hinge, and can be closed by the oyster's powerful adductor muscle (the dark spots on the inside of an empty shell are the points to which the ends of this muscle adhered).
		Oysters can snap their shells closed with lightning speed and with the power of a vise.

		Since the oyster spends most of its life (except for the free-swimming larval stage) attached—having fused its valve with a sticky substance to a substratum of shells, rocks, or roots—the foot is rudimentary.
		These oysters are harvested in artificial beds on both coasts of the United States: on the Atlantic especially in the regions of the Delaware and Chesapeake bays and in the waters off Long Island, in the Gulf Coast off Louisiana, and in the Pacific off the state of Washington.

	ANR-805 Oyster Farming In Alabama
		Gulf coast oyster producers have long practiced a very rudimentary type of oyster farming in which oyster or clam shells are "planted" to provide a substrate for oyster larvae to set on (see life cycle).
		Oyster farming as practiced in other parts of the world includes producing oyster larvae, setting the larvae, protecting the juveniles (spat), and then "planting" in natural waters with various degrees of control ranging from scattering the spat on the bottom to keeping it in plastic mesh bags on some kind of support frame or belt.
		Adult oysters are brought to the hatchery and heat-shocked with 86° to 90°F water.

	85.07.02: The Oyster
		An oyster is a soft-bodied invertebrate that is found in the shallow waters of the sea.
		They destroy the population by causing external adverse conditions that increase the incidence of disease, inhibit the growth of the oyster or interfere with the formation or the shell, thus depriving the oyster of its principal means of protection against adverse situations and attacks of enemies.
		The food of the oyster consists of minute organisms, both plant and animal, which float in the water, protozoa, the egg and larval of marine worms and mollusks, and the spores of algae.

		Oysters filter these pollutants by either consuming them or shape them into small packets, which are deposited on the bottom where they are not harmful.
		Anyone who fishes the Bay knows that oyster reefs are among the best places to fish because they are teeming with life that attract large predator fish, such as striped bass and sea trout.

	Olympia Oyster
		Oysters usually inhabit low tidelands or estuaries that remain inundated with water during low tide, although they also can be found on the undersides of floats and on pilings.
		Though oyster growers strove to maintain and enhance the water quality of the tidelands that sustained their oyster-beds, unregulated effluent from surrounding pulp and paper mills before the 1950's played a large part in the declines of the Olympic oyster.
		In the southern Puget Sound region, Olympia oyster populations continue to be threatened by pollution from motorboats, pulp mills and wastewater discharge.

		An intertidal oyster doesn't have to hunt for food, but simply waits for the tide to bring the next serving.
		This process is called "cultching." The catching materials are referred to as "cultch" and the recently settled oysters are known as "spat." Old shells from previously harvested oysters are commonly used as cultch.
		Oysters can also accumulate pollutants from the environment as they filter food from the water, slowing their growth, impairing breeding or even causing death.
