Abstract
Photo 1. Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) were deployed at three densities in mesh cages suspended above sand-filled boxes at four sites in Jamaica Bay, New York City. Controls consisted of boxes with empty cages attached. (A) All boxes (N = 20 per site) were attached to a trot line between two cinderblocks, and deployed subtidally. Boxes were collected bimonthly by hand and walked to the shore. (B) We counted oyster mortality, replaced dead individuals, and sampled sediment for carbon and nitrogen dynamics. (C) Mott’s Basin was moderately eutrophic and adjacent to a natural-gas-burning power plant. Photo credits: Timothy Hoellein and Chester Zarnoch. Photo Gallery
