The heritability of oyster (Crassostrea virginica) larval growth rate was estimated to be in the range of 0.25 to 0.50 and a significant part of this genetic variation is of the additive type. Larval growth rate and spat growth rate were found to be highly correlated. These results suggest that a se

Adult Crassostrea ~r g i n i c a were obtained from 4 populations and spawned in the laboratory. The larvae from the within-population crosses and the hybrid crosses were raised at 4 salinities. There were no significant differences in survival of the larvae between the populations. However, one set
Adult oysters, Crassostrea ~r~nica (Gmelin) were held in seawater containing 10 or 1OO ppb mercury in the form of mercuric acetate for 45 days. Mercury concentration in tissues was determined by analysis of individually homogenized oyster meats using wet digestion and flameless absorption spectropho
