1 Balancing Oyster Habitat Alterations with Coastal Wetland Restoration Activities in the Barataria Estuary Earl J. Melancon, Jr. Department of Biological Sciences Nicholls State University Thibodaux, LA U.S.A. ICSR 05 Brest, France October 2005
2 Louisiana New Orleans Study Area Gulf of Mexico Mississippi River
3 RESEARCH FOCUS Develop Management Guidelines so that Water Diversions and the Oyster Fishery can Co-exist We address this by asking: How have low-salinity events influenced the Oyster Fishery? Survival? Reproduction? Recruitment of spat? Shell growth Has there been any ecological event that caused negative impacts to oysters that were not associated with low salinity?

Site 1 Site 6 Site 9 Low April 05 Salinity and only partial Spawn occurred; very poor spat set in May-June Although salinities were good for larvae and Spat survival Salinity (ppt)

9 Shell Length (mm) ideal seed length BB-4 Up-Estuary Growth of Tagged Oysters Sept '04 to August ' 05 Spat to Seed Seed to Sack Site BB-8 Dow n-estuary acceptable sack length
10 SUMMARY (Preliminary) Salinity < 5ppt is OK in cooler months, November-March for oyster survival. Salinity must remain > 5ppt April-October for oyster survival, reproduction, and recruitment. Spring larvae and spat survival closely tied to higher salinity in May-June and availability of food in water. Bay has potential to become an annual fall seed crop for bedding elsewhere, if follow above recommendations. Bay has potential to become a bi-annual sack fishery, if follow above recommendations. There will always be a risk factor for oyster mortalities since management can not predict acts of nature. * * But oystermen s investment risks can be reduced if understand general weather patterns, e.g., wet El nino years best to harvest as a seed.
