The ecological role of bivalve shellfish aquaculture in the estuarine environment: A review with application to oyster and clam culture in West Coast (USA) estuaries (2009, background): “Mussel and oyster reefs modulate water flow and transport, allow attachment of algae and invertebrates, and provide cover and refugia from predation (Bahr and Lanier, 1981; Zimmerman et al., 1989; Tokeshi and Romero, 1995; Lenihan, 1999; Ragnarsson and Raffaelli, 1999; Gutierrez et al., 2003; Rodney”
Overfishing, disease, habitat loss, and potential extirpation of oysters in upper Chesapeake Bay (2011, background): “Thus, habitat restoration and closure to fishing combined with stocking of hatchery-reared juveniles may be a feasible way to increase population size and reverse habitat degradation (Brumbaugh et al. 2000, Rodney & Paynter 2006).”
