Research on European flat oyster distribution
Last week, we went on a short expedition for the POPOyster project to study the distribution of European flat oyster along the western coast of Istria, extending over 12 NM offshore. We analyzed the distribution and abundance of Ostrea edulis at over 30 sites. In addition to oysters, we examined other species in the area. We were lucky to have good weather for two out of the three days, although the first day had us thinking we might all need seasickness pills!
