Oysters Grow on Puerto Rico Mangrove Trees
The College of Agriculture at the University of Puerto Rico Mayaguez conducts studies to create a year round oyster industry. Oysters cling to mangrove roots with up to fifty on a root and a bucketful can be harvested in fifteen minutes. Dr Norman T Mattox and professors Virgilio Biaggi Jr and Juan A Rivera lead weekly marine biology classes examining salinity oxygen and plankton for cultivation surveys.
