We hung 4 CBF oyster cages from our dock 4 summers ago. We missed all the scheduled return dates during the last 2 summers. Now the surviving stock has reached market size and shows evidence of new spat recruitment.
This photo shows 2 new recruits (maybe 1 yr old) developing on top market-sized oysters from the original spat distribution.
Three market-sized oysters from the original distribution; each appears to be topped with a developing new recruit.
Three year old monster, probably 4-5 inches long.
More moderate sized specimen about 3 inches.
