Oyster Settlement Experiment: First Fieldwork Phase Completed

October 13, 2026

In October, we retrieved the settlement collectors installed to investigate oyster settlement at two locations: Brijuni National Park, under natural conditions, and the Krka River estuary, under aquaculture conditions. The next step is to analyse the collected samples and assess oyster settlement preferences for different substrates. Next year, we plan to repeat the experiment in Kaštela Bay.
