Note(s): Shell growth, survival, and physiology were compared between diploid Suminoe (Crassostrea ariakensis) and eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) under conditions simulating a U.S. subtropical estuary. Two age groups (4 mo and 28 too) of both oyster species were grown for 9 mo (December 2006 through August 2007) in quarantine mesocosms (700 L) supplied with ambient flowing (≥10 L/min) water (annual temperature range, 18.6-30.4°C; salinity, 28-37.7).
