Oyster culture potential in the west arm of San Quintín Bay: Current biomass and preliminary estimate of the carrying capacity

Biomass production of cultured Pacific oysters, Crassostrea gigas, from the west arm of San Quintín Bay (SQB) was quantified from 1995 to 1998. Filtration and ingestion rates were also mesured in situ (1999–2000) to estimate the oyster carrying capacity of the west arm. At the end of nine months oy...
