Abstract

The distribution of the American oyster is dependent upon the morphological development of tidal streams. Dense populations are most often found associated with large meanders. The differential current velocities associated with meander formation result in areas of scour, which are beneficial to development of oyster beds; and areas of deposition, which are detrimental to survival of oysters.
