Coral growth on oyster shells explains mortality on Eastern Shore

A Mobile display shows coral fixed to oysters from the Eastern Shore, suggesting highly salty water harmed oyster food and caused die offs. Prof. Thurlow C. Nelson, sent by the federal bureau of fisheries, linked excessive salinity to reduced food and starvation, with samples to be studied further. Researchers note regional variation, keep watch on Alabama waters, and consider timing and locality for planting to mitigate losses. Evidence suggests salty water hurts oysters here but supports growth near Point Clear.
