known as Salt River on ST.
Croix Island more CLOSELY an
proaches estuary conditions
than other inlets. A somewhat
similar situation exists in Co
raj Harbor on st. John. On St.
Thomas the quiet waters of
Mangrove Lagoon offer the on
~ area where oysters grow to
any extent and where culture
is at all feasible.
Besides having high tenn
peratures, the waters of the
Virgin Islands are very salty,
perhaps too salty for the best
growth and. reproduction of
oysters. The lack of fresh wa
ter flowing into the various
lnlets presents the most dis
couraging factor for oyster
cultivation. Typical of this
part Of the world, the heat and
excessive evaporation taking
place concentrates the shallow
waters and increases their
salt content. This is true even
OF the surface of the open
ocean in this area, where sal
unity is greatly increased from
evaporation and is only re-
duced by mixing from storms.
Salinities as high as 40 parts
per thousand may be found in
the open sea. The range Of
salinity observed on this sur
