Abstract
STRONG indications that a few females of the native oyster, O. edulis, can produce young at an age of little more than a year, are reported by a group of investigators from, the University of Liverpool. The number of shelled, and. just coloured larvae born by one of the females was estimated at 240,000. About 12,000 larvae (in the trochosphere $tage) were counted in a drop of liquid after three days settlement. The authors also give a graph showing the relative weight distribution, in one-year old English native oysters.”
