This is for Eastern oysters, C. virginica. |
For example: I put 500 seed into a cage a few months ago. The volume is now 4 Liters. What is the average oyster size now? (Answer 37 mm)
Another example: I have 55 mm seed ready for final planting and I want to plant 75 oysters per cage. Rather than counting out 75 seed for each cage, I could scoop up a given volume. The calculator tells me that 75 55mm seed take up a volume of 2.50 Liters.
Updated 5/22/2024, this uses v = 0.0004 e 0.0804x where v is the volume in liters/oyster and x is the shell height in mm to calculate the volume of an oyster given it's shell height.
