Abstract:
Estuaries around the world are in a state of decline following decades or more of overfishing, pollution, and climate change. Oysters (Ostreidae), ecosystem engineers in many estuaries, influence water quality, construct habitat, and provide food for humans and wildlife. In North America’s Chesapeake Bay, once-thriving eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations have declined dramatically, making their restoration and conservation extremely challenging. Here we present data on oyster size and human harvest from Chesapeake Bay archaeological sites spanning ∼3,500 y of Native American, colonial, and historical occupation. We compare oysters from archaeological sites with Pleistocene oyster reefs that existed before human harvest, modern oyster reefs, and other records of human oyster harvest from around the world. Native American fisheries were focused on nearshore oysters and were likely harvested at a rate that was sustainable over centuries to millennia, despite changing Holocene climatic conditions and sea-level rise. These data document resilience in oyster populations under long-term Native American harvest, sea-level rise, and climate change; provide context for managing modern oyster fisheries in the Chesapeake Bay and elsewhere around the world; and demonstrate an interdisciplinary approach that can be applied broadly to other fisheries.

Abstract:
The article conducts a marketing study of the oyster market in Ukraine and in the world. In the article was analyze the current state and prospects for future perspective development of the oyster market in Ukraine. The possibility of developing the market of oysters and enterprises of the oyster industry under the conditions of marketing use is considered. The results of the study showed that fisheries in Ukraine are a promising area of agro-industrial production, which provides the population with valuable food and promotes employment. The marketing research was based on the analysis of the supply of oysters in the world and Ukraine, the volume of demand in the domestic market of Ukraine, the characteristics of the main producers of oysters. The analysis suggests that the leading countries in oyster farming are China, Japan and the United States. A study of the dynamics of oyster production in the world showed their constant growth, and in 2018 received 4.7 million tons of oysters. The supply on the domestic market of oysters in Ukraine consists of imports and direct domestic production: 90% - import, 10% - domestic production. Ukraine's oyster imports fell from $ 9.5 million. to 5.98 million dollars, but still occupies the lion's share. The largest domestic producers of oysters are next companies: Silveo LLC (38%), Odyssey LLC (20%), Ocean LLC (13%), Triton-chernomor Company (11%). Despite imports and low domestic production, oyster consumption in Ukraine remains low at 0.9 kg per person per year. The consistently low demand for sea-food and oysters, in particular, is due to the steady deterioration of the economic situation and low purchasing power of the population. A prerequisite for the long-term and perspective development of the oyster market and oyster’s cultivation enterprises is the use of marketing. The most popular for oyster’s enterprises are traditional and cognitive marketing. The most popular instruments of cognitive marketing for the oyster enterprises are creating social videos about cinnamon of seafood, including oysters, organizing of the food festivals and food festivals of the sea-products, have been thoroughly disseminated, as well as take part in other trips, organizing tasting events at the festival and other.

Abstract:
In the late nineteenth century San Francisco Bay hosted one of the American West's most valuable fisheries: Not the bay's native oysters, but Atlantic oysters, shipped across the country by rail and seeded on privately owned tidelands, created private profits and sparked public resistance. Both oyster growers and oyster pirates depended upon a rapidly changing bay ecosystem. Their struggle to possess the bay's productivity revealed the inqualities of ownership in the American West. An unstable nature and shifting perceptions of San Francisco Bay combined to remake the bay into a place to dump waste rather than to find food. Both growers and pirates disappeared following the collapse of the oyster fishery in the early twentieth century.

Abstract:
Cot Seurani Village is one of the coastal villages in Muara Batu District, North Aceh Regency which has fisheries and marine potential that can be used as oyster cultivation land. The people in Cot Seurani Village predominantly work as fishermen, the potential of existing oysters has not been utilized optimally, they still collect them directly from nature, such as on rocks at TPI and its surroundings. The aim of this service activity is to introduce, socialize and directly practice the innovation of oyster cages which can be used as oyster cultivation business land in Cot Seurani Village, North Aceh in order to encourage oyster farmers to open oyster cultivation businesses independently and in a measurable manner using economical materials. The stages of this activity include program planning, preparation, socialization on making oyster cages, lowering oyster cages into the sea and monitoring and evaluating to publishing the results of the service in print media and scientific journals, as well as making reports on the results of the service. The final result, in the form of samples of oyster cage products that have been lowered into the sea, can be used by oyster farmers as an environmentally friendly oyster cultivation area to facilitate the production process and improve the welfare of oyster farmers in Cot Seurani Village.

Abstract:
Oysters are one of the most important natural resources found in coastal and estuarine areas of Florida, but some Florida oyster populations appear to be declining. One possible driver of oyster population decline is increased mortality from oyster predators, including marine snails. But other environmental factors, such as changes in temperature or salinity, may also affect oysters. This 5-page fact sheet written by Gabrielle Love, Shirley Baker, and Edward V. Camp and published by the UF/IFAS School of Forest Resources and Conservation, Program in Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences describes how a changing climate may affect oysters directly but also indirectly by affecting their predators.https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/fa228

Full text
Abstract:
The history of the European native oyster has been documented for numerous countries within its natural range. However, the history of Ostrea edulis in Wales remains conspicuously absent from current UK and European peer-reviewed publications. It was therefore deemed necessary to address this and as a result in-depth research of archival data was conducted including local trade directories, decennial census returns, collections from the National Museum Wales, annual government fisheries reports and grey literature from local historical societies. These historical reviews resulted in the construction of a timeline which documents all the significant historical dates related to O. edulis in Wales from the early 1500 s to present day. Fisheries statistics for England and Wales were also analysed for the western regional oyster fisheries in an attempt to understand the contribution which the Welsh landings made to the region. The review revealed that the Welsh fishery was the primary contributor of regional landings from the early 1600 s with maximum landings reported 1894, with the oyster beds at Mumbles producing more oysters than any other port until the fishery closed in 1937. A commercial native oyster fishery no longer exists in Wales but there remains a small native oyster population in South Wales. It is hoped that the historical accounts of bountiful catches, overexploitation, and restoration of O. edulis over the centuries in Wales may offer current conservation practitioners an insight into failures and mistakes of the past which could benefit the future of the European flat oyster in Wales.

Abstract:
The Gulf of Mexico (GoM) is home to the world's largest remaining wild oyster fisheries, but baseline surveys needed to assess habitat condition are recent and may represent an already-shifted reference state. Here, we use prehistoric oysters from archaeological middens to show that oyster size, an indicator of habitat function and population resilience, declined prior to the earliest assessments of reef condition in an area of the GoM previously considered pristine. Stable isotope sclerochronlogy reveals extirpation of colossal oysters occurred through truncated life history and slowed growth. More broadly, our study suggests that management strategies affected by shifting baselines may overestimate resilience and perpetuate practices that risk irreversible decline.

Abstract:
The main fishing enterprise located in the province of Pinar del Río, Cuba, markets oyster meat packed in brine bags of 460 g. The oysters come from natural bank fisheries (mangrove and bottom oyster), and from farms (mangrove oyster). Although the capture during 2009 – 2013 showed an increasing trend (50 to > 80 t), the oyster meat yields recorded values below (3.3 – 3.9 %), the acceptable minimums (4.9 %); in addition, a decrease in meat weight was observed between the packaging and commercialization, impacting productivity. The objectives of the study were the assessment of oyster exploitation based on the meat yield, and to assess the meat loss in the final packed product. A monthly and annual yield variation analysis and their relationship between fishery type and oyster size was performed. Meanwhile, the loss of meat was analyzed by different treatments of oyster / brine proportions. Significant differences (p < 0.05) of meat yield (%) by oyster species and size with a better performance in the farmed oysters were observed. The traditional proportion of packing for commercialization (meat / brine, 391 g / 69 g = 460 g), influenced the weight-loss of meat by leakage of interstitial fluid. After the treatments with different proportions of meat / brine, the proportion 1:1 showed the least loss of meat weight. The breach of commercial size and the lack of cleanliness of the oysters before the shell removing process, impacted the meat yield analysis during 2009-2013

Abstract:
Abstract Objectives Sustainable management of fisheries is important for improving nutrition and food security. In 2017, an oyster harvesters’ association in Ghana began implementing a 5-month (Nov-Apr) closed season to improve oyster yields of the Densu estuary. It is unknown how much oysters contribute to the diet of women during the open season and whether there is a substantial reduction in oyster consumption during the closed season This study aimed to examine oyster consumption during the open and closed seasons and the perception of the closed season. Methods We recruited women (n = 137) residing in 4 major communities located near the Densu estuary in the Ga-South Municipality of Ghana. We collected data on oyster harvesting and consumption using a survey and a 30-day food frequency questionnaire during the closed (March 2020) and open (August 2020) seasons. The amount of oysters consumed was determined by converting reported portion sizes to grams using average wet weights of oysters purchased in the study area. We used McNemar's test for paired samples to compare differences in the proportion of women who consumed oysters, and Wilcoxon signed-rank test to compare differences in the amount of oysters consumed. Results A majority (63%) of the women were oyster harvesters. Significantly higher proportion of women consumed oysters in the 30 days preceding the interview during the open compared to the closed season (57% vs 13%, p &lt; 0.0001). Among those who consumed oysters, the mean ± SD oysters (wet weight) consumed at a sitting was 218.4 ± 114.7 g, equivalent to 60 oysters, and did not differ between the open (211.6 ± 119.9 g) and closed ((242.8 ± 92.6 g) seasons (P = 0.73). The majority of women were aware of the closed season (87%) and viewed it positively (85%). Conclusions The majority of women in these communities consume oysters during the open season, and are in support of the closed season. Considering that a smaller percentage of women consumed oysters during the closed season, additional research is warranted to further examine the aggregate impacts of oyster management in Ghana on nutrition and household food insecurity, considering both consumption and income impacts.

Abstract:
The oyster Crassostrea spp. is one of the main fisheries resources in the southern portion of São Paulo State. This paper aims to evaluate the extractivism of that resource, supplying subsidies to the implementation of management regulations. This study was developed in Cananéia, from February 1999 to December 2006. The oyster production data in dozens was obtained through weekly or monthly interviews. The annual and average CPUE in dozens per day was analysis to verify significant differences along years. There are no regulations that limit the fishing effort or organize the admission in the fishermen. The admission is controlled by the condition of the market and there is a risk of increasing the fishing effort above the sustainable yield, which demands measures that control the number of fishermen enganged in the activity. Those measures, to be effective, must be created in discussion with the fisheries sector, based on technical information.

Abstract:
Restoration of oyster reef structures rehabilitates habitats and the multi-level ecological communities built on eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica), the keystone species. Quantitative descriptions of ecological interactions within a habitat are required to delineate essential fish habitats for management and protection. Parallel development of primary (oysters) and secondary trophic levels (benthic fishes) offer an ecological metric of restoration progress over time. The interaction between larval oysters and larval fishes (e.g., Gobiosoma bosc, Chasmodes bosquianus) is quantitatively examined. Oyster settlement estimates for Palace Bar reef, Piankatank River, Virginia are of the same order of magnitude as field densities of recently settled oysters. Benthic fish settlement estimates are within an order of magnitude of observed adult densities. Zooplankton community composition around the reef is temporally variable and plankton densities range from 10 2--106 animals per m3 across temporal scales. Nocturnal densities of naked goby and striped blenny larvae around Palace Bar reef were 3 to 4 orders of magnitude higher than densities observed during daylight hours. Diurnal changes in larval fish abundance near Palace Bar reef are related to ambient light intensities and diurnal vertical migration by prey species. Naked goby, striped blenny, and feather blenny (Hypsoblennius hentzi) larvae selectively consumed bivalve veligers, in multi-factorial laboratory feeding experiments. Temporal co-occurrence of larval oysters and larval fishes was not observed in 1996 field collections although historic oyster settlement data strongly support the probability of co-occurrence during most years. Two different methods are used to estimate the larval oyster - larval fish interaction in the absence of field data. Given existing oyster and fish demographics on Palace Bar reef, larval fishes have the capacity to drastically reduce, perhaps eliminate, local veliger populations if they co-occur. The strength of this interaction is directly related to oyster demography-fecundity relationships. In the absence of veligers, larval fishes consume other plankton taxa that are abundant around the reef. Naked gobies and striped blennies are generalists. Oyster reefs provide optimal rather than essential habitat. Reef restoration will facilitate development of related ecological communities by providing optimal habitat conditions for these ubiquitous estuarine species.

Abstract:
This study examines the concept of property rights in relation to fisheries resource management in the Maryland oyster fishery. An analysis of the past and present state of this fishery on the Chesapeake Bay focused on the administrative, biological, social, economic, and political influences in fisheries management and their potential consequences. This single fishery once provided a quarter of America's oysters but, if the oyster population decline continues, it may soon become a memory. Though Maryland has a dual property rights structure, private and public, the public fishery predominates. The reasons why privatization has not been a successfully implemented strategy, and whether the Maryland fishery embodies a unique situation better served by other management strategies, were addressed, and community-based alternatives from other types of fisheries were evaluated for their efficacy and applicability to Maryland. Historical and current information on Chesapeake oyster populations, events contributing to population fluctuations, and changes in fisheries management strategies were examined for any causal trends and compared and contrasted with other fisheries. The study found that culture and job satisfaction prevents privatization from becoming an accepted property rights management strategy in Maryland. This study also illustrates how cooperative fisheries management strategies can address nonmonetary benefits, traditional values, and coastal community structures, while achieving a sustainable harvest, preserving a traditional way of life, and restoring habitat and the oyster's role in the Bay's ecology. Any changes in the future will likely be directed toward changing the rules of management and harvest for the public grounds. If oyster production is to be increased in the Chesapeake Bay, the cooperation, consent, and responsibility of the watermen are needed for any policy to be successfully implemented. The future of fisheries management will not and cannot be confined to fisheries biology and population counts. It will need to encompass a broad arena of disciplines working together toward a common goal.

Abstract:
Public and private concern over the decline of Virginia's oyster industry prompted the General Assembly (GA) in 1977 and 1983 to commission its Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission (JLARC) to examine the State's oyster grounds management policies. In response to JLARC's findings the GA directed Virginia Marine Resources Commission (VMRC) to construct and implement an oyster fisheries management plan. The GA set as the plan's objective to achieve the greatest production level possible subject to limits of physical resource availability and technical feasibility. That the plan should be attentive to cost-effectiveness was also expressed by the GA. In developing its management plan VMRC must consider a variety of environmental, economic and political factors affecting the production and harvest of market oysters. A linear programming model developed for VMRC's use in evaluating alternative oyster grounds management strategies is described. The objective of the programming model is to minimize the public plus private cost of producing a prespecified level of market oyster harvest over a ten year planning horizon. The model includes as its activities the different aquacultural techniques used by private planters and VMRC in its repletion program. The many environmental, economic and political factors are incorporated into the model's constraints and technical coefficients. Several management alternatives are evaluated with the model. The results of these analyses indicate that without a fundamental in the oyster repletion program, even if new oyster grounds management policies are considered, there would be little change in public grounds market oyster harvest over current levels. Under revised repletion program practices, however, marked increases in public grounds harvest could be effected for relatively small increases in repletion program budget allocations over current levels.

Full text
Abstract:
The eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica is an ecologically and commercially important species whose natural populations have been devastated by overharvesting, habitat destruction, and disease, but the rapid growth of oyster aquaculture has shown potential to restore the economic significance of this species. A key threat to the growth and sustainability of oyster aquaculture is the association of human-pathogenic Vibrio bacteria with product marketed for raw consumption. Two Vibrio species, Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, are the causes of the highest rates of seafood consumption-related mortality and gastrointestinal illness, respectively. Identification of the factors influencing V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus prevalence and intensity in oysters is fundamental to better risk management. Within the oyster, these bacterial species interact with the same tissues as the prevalent oyster parasite, Perkinsus marinus, yet little is known about the effect of P. marinus infection on bacterial levels. Answering the fundamental question of whether P. marinus correlates with V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus levels in oysters was the focus of this research. Oysters were deployed in the York River, Gloucester Point, VA, where both Vibrio species and P. marinus are endemic, and were sampled at five time points when levels of both P. marinus and Vibrio spp. were expected to be high in oysters. Abundance of all three organisms and pathogenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus were determined in individual oysters using molecular methods to investigate potential correlations between parasite and bacterial abundance. Additionally, the levels of V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus in relation to histopathology associated with P. marinus infection and other conditions were determined. The following year, manipulation of P. marinus disease progression, which is slowed by lower salinities and favored by higher salinities, was attempted by deploying oysters at two additional sites of different salinities to gain insight into whether the timing of P. marinus infection emergence directly influences Vibrio levels. No correlation was observed between total abundance of P. marinus and either V. vulnificus or V. parahaemolyticus. Manipulation of P. marinus disease progression produced no effect on P. marinus emergence, so this yielded no insight into P. marinus-Vibrio interactions. Histopathological analyses did not reveal any correlations between P. marinus ranking, distribution, or associated tissue damage and Vibrio spp. levels. Though few in number, oysters infected by Haplosporidium nelsoni were characterized by higher levels of V. vulnificus, and oysters of peak gametogenic development had significantly higher levels of pathogenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus. The results with regard to H. nelsoni and gametogenic state warrant further study. The primary conclusion of this study is that oyster health has little influence on levels of human-pathogenic Vibrio species in oysters, inter-host variability in Vibrio levels is likely explained by other factors.

Frey, Devin. "A Machine Learning Approach to Determine Oyster Vessel Behavior." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2016. http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2253.

Full text
Abstract:
A support vector machine (SVM) classifier was designed to replace a previous classifier which predicted oyster vessel behavior in the public oyster grounds of Louisiana. The SVM classifier predicts vessel behavior (docked, poling, fishing, or traveling) based on each vessel’s speed and either net speed or movement angle. The data from these vessels was recorded by a Vessel Monitoring System (VMS), and stored in a PostgreSQL database. The SVM classifier was written in Python, using the scikit-learn library, and was trained by using predictions from the previous classifier. Several validation and parameter optimization techniques were used to improve the SVM classifier’s accuracy. The previous classifier could classify about 93% of points from July 2013 to August 2014, but the SVM classifier can classify about 99.7% of those points. This new classifier can easily be expanded with additional features to further improve its predictive capabilities.

Abstract:
AbstractOyster habitats in the United Arab Emirates are highly diverse marine ecosystems with fascinating historical cultural and fisheries importance for pearls, but also for provisioning local people with food and materials for direct consumption and income. Their hard structure protects coastal areas and human populations and their assets, while their strong filtering activity promotes clean waters and healthy and productive marine ecosystems. Oyster habitats in the UAE occur on both the Arabian Gulf and Gulf of Oman coasts. They form oyster beds and oyster reefs and are distributed across coastal and offshore areas. These oyster habitats support hundreds of marine species that include valuable commercial species such as hamours (groupers), emperors (Lethrinidae), and snappers (Lutjanidae). The water quality in oyster ecosystems of Sharjah, Ajman and Umm al Quwain reflects good environmental conditions, yet the presence of microplastics in the sediment and oyster tissue evidence some pollution. Phytoplankton in these areas is diverse and includes several harmful algal bloom species. The current status and extent of oyster habitats in the UAE is known only for some emirates, but there is local scientific and management interest in addressing this gap for the conservation and restoration of these valuable habitats for the nation.

Abstract:
AbstractMicroplastics and nanoplastics may be found in the gastrointestinal tract of some aquatic animals and could potentially be ingested by humans if consumed whole. Information on the toxicity of plastic particles, as well as co-contaminants such as plastic additives, remains scarce. This represents a serious challenge to perform realistic risk assessments. An exposure assessment of selected plastic additives and co-contaminants of known toxicity associated with microplastics was carried out for shellfish in this study, which builds on an exposure assessment of microplastic additives and a limited number of associated contaminants in mussels conducted by the FAO in 2017. This study evaluates possible impacts to food safety by examining a diverse additives and associated sorbed contaminants. The results suggest that the levels of certain microplastic additives and sorbed co-contaminants in target animals (shrimp, prawns, clams, oysters, and mussels) do not pose a food safety threat to consumers. To get to further conclusions, an exposure assessment from the whole diet should be carried out and the toxicity of some of the most common polymers and plastic additives, as well as their mixtures, needs to be carefully evaluated.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the Gulf of Mexico (GOM) region and the major issues facing this marine fisheries ecosystem, and presents some summary statistics related to the 90 indicators of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) criteria. The region contains high numbers of marine species comprising commercially and recreationally important invertebrate (e.g., penaeid shrimp, blue crab, eastern oyster) and finfish (e.g., red snapper, grouper, red drum, pelagic sportfishes) fisheries, which contribute heavily to national landings and seafood supply. The northern GOM contains one of the nation’s largest marine economies (among the eight U.S. regional marine ecosystems), which is dependent on offshore mineral extractions, tourism, marine transportation, living marine resources (LMRs), and other ocean uses. The GOM provides critical social and economic benefits to the region and the nation, is a region with high numbers of managed species, yet exploitation of these resources and an increasing human population makes the GOM an area subject to significant natural and human stressors, including the highest number of hurricanes in the U.S. Atlantic region, large expanses of hypoxic bottom water, overfishing, and major oil spills like the 2010 DWH event.

Abstract:
This chapter describes the Mid-Atlantic region and the major issues facing this marine fisheries ecosystem, and presents some summary statistics related to the 90 indicators of ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) criteria. While containing lower numbers of managed taxa among the eight regional U.S. marine ecosystems, this region has relatively well-managed state and federal fisheries that are important both nationally and along the U.S. Atlantic coast, including Atlantic menhaden, blue crab, eastern oyster, black sea bass, summer flounder, and striped bass. The Mid-Atlantic is an environment that is subject to stressors that include habitat loss, coastal development, nutrient loading, climate-related species range shifts, hurricanes, other ocean uses, and proliferation of invasive species. Overall, EBFM progress has been made at the regional and subregional level in terms of implementing ecosystem-level planning, advancing knowledge of ecosystem principles, and in assessing risks and vulnerabilities to ecosystems through ongoing investigations into climate vulnerability and species prioritizations for stock and habitat assessments. While information has been obtained and models developed, only partial progress has been observed toward applying ecosystem-level emergent properties or reference points into management frameworks. While the Mid-Atlantic is leading in many aspects of its LMR and ecosystem-centric efforts, challenges remain toward effectively implementing additional facets of EBFM, and particularly enacting ecosystem-level control rules. This ecosystem is excelling in the areas of LMR and socioeconomic status, the quality of its governance system, and is relatively productive, as related to the determinants of successful LMR management.

Abstract:
In the 1880s, Eastern Australian estuaries supported thriving oyster industries. They supplied lime for building early in Australia’s development, but as cities and towns grew, it was the briny salty taste for this delicacy that saw the growth of the sector. When the oyster beds at the east coast of Australia became depleted, fishermen looked to New Zealand, where the same Oyster species grew, to supply cultivation stock for the Australian market. It was presumed that transfers would have the same impact as those already being moved within the Australian ecological networks. That is: it would present no problem at all. What was overlooked in this intercolonial exchange was the presence of the mudworm in the New Zealand estuaries. Mudworm co-habitats with oysters without killing them, but impedes the healthy development of the oysters making them inedible. This chapter places the mudworm at the center of a new narrative in the ecological networks of oysters. Rather than articulating the mudworm as a damaging invasive species, it argues that the mudworm was an agent of change that caused the fishermen to adjust their methods of oyster cultivation.

Abstract:
The reforms of the late nineteenth century did help protect New England’s drinking water. The plague of water-borne diseases that made the region’s cities so infamously dangerous to live in seemed to be in retreat. For a moment, it looked as if the new century would bring a world in which there did not have to be trade-offs between economic development and environmental quality. The ideal articulated by Lyman and Mills—that professional expertise would transcend conflicts of interests between manufacturers and reformers—seemed at hand. Yet there were still problems that these optimists overlooked. And these problems broke into view again in the new century. Despite the health gains, New England’s rivers and streams continued to receive massive influxes of pollution of both industrial wastes and human sewage. The larger cities along the major river systems continued their practice of dumping raw sewage downstream, while manufacturers still saw running water as a natural disposal system for their wastes. Industrial wastes, although less central in the conversation around public health and the environment, were clearly polluting water systems, and reformers never completely gave up the struggle to clean water of industrial pollutants. In its 1896 report, the Massachusetts State Board of Health discussed possible solutions to the problems of “waste liquors or sewage from those manufacturing industries in the State which pollute or threaten to pollute our rivers and ponds.” The Lawrence station experimented with different methods of removing industrial wastes. Yet the “problem of successful and economical disposal of this sewage [remained].” As people began to look at clean water as an aesthetic as well as a health issue, the ability of water to sustain live fish, which had been dismissed twenty years earlier, now became a concern. Commissions on fisheries that had focused attention on fishways and fish cultivation in the nineteenth century began to revisit the issue of water pollution as they noticed their hatchery fish dying in polluted waters; oyster growers complained to the commissions that their oyster beds were being polluted.

Abstract:
“The Healthy Plan of Enclosed Coastal Environments” was a project implemented from 2011 to 2013 to design an effective action plan for restoring a healthy environment in Mitsu Bay, Hiroshima, Japan. After collecting and analyzing natural and social background information, two controversial issues associated with the bay’s ecosystem were identified: a decrease in oyster production that may be due to oligotrophication of the bay, and deterioration of sediment quality caused by oyster culture. Four mitigation approaches were proposed by the committee and their effectiveness was evaluated using numerical calculations. An application of hot air-dried oyster shells (HACOS) to the sediment was considered the most effective measure, because the remediation of sediment quality by adsorbing hydrogen sulfide may increase benthos biomass and fisheries production. Improved conditions were estimated to continue for 10 years. The application of HACOS is easy for fishermen, and is very cost effective because it is a by-product of extensive oyster culturing in the bay. Thus, the approach is also considered advantageous for establishing a recycling-orientated community. The effective action plan for sustainable fisheries and restoration of the environment outlined in this study is proposed as a leading model of design and implementation.
