The oyster f1ourishes best at depth anywhere
from the surface OF the water 10 three or four
hundred feet down. Here the young fasten them

is carried to them by the currents they thrive

dom. Professor Brooks, of the Johns Hopkins
University has estimated that the average female
oyster in the Chesapeake Bay will spawn between
April and october less than lGGO0U0 eggs,
while the largest specimens will spawn as high as
60 100000 in a single season. OF course, the per-
