An Effect of Water Quality on the Growth of Cultured Larvae of the Oyster Ostrea edulis L

R.H. Millar, J. M. Scott

Abstract

Larvae of the oyster sometimes fail to grow satisfactorily when cultured in standard conditions. When the water was pre-treated with adsorbing agents, and when artificial seawater was used, the larvae grew faster, indicating the presence of harmful substances in solution in the natural seawater, which could be removed by adsorption.
