Using transplanted oyster (Crassostrea virginica) beds to improve water quality in small tidal creeks: a pilot study (2004, background): “Oysters provide numerous economic and ecological benefits including commercial fisheries value (Breitburg et al., 2000; Mallin et al., 2000), habitat diversity (Posey et al.”
Economic Valuation of Ecosystem Services Provided by Oyster Reefs (2012, background): “…for foraging and refuge from predators, which leads directly and indirectly through the provision of forage species to an enhanced production of economically important fishery stocks (Coen et al. 1999, Breitburg et al. 2000, Harding and Mann 2001, Peterson et al. 2003, Tolley and Volety 2005).”
Benthic flow environments affect recruitment of Crassostrea virginica larvae to an intertidal oyster reef (2012, background): “…Crassostrea virginica creates 3- dimensional, complex reef structure within estuaries and coastal waters that provides habitat for many fish and invertebrate species, promotes estuarine biodiversity (Lenihan & Peterson 1998), and en hances the value of commercial fisheries (Breitburg et al. 2000).”
