OYSTERS
The impacts
of disease on oysters and the resulting struggles of the oyster
farming industry typify the kinds of problems for which Louisiana
Sea Grant is a catalyst in finding practical solutions. Through
major oyster research programs, Sea Grant has brought together
academic researchers and oyster industry leaders to restore the
commercial and ecological viability of Louisiana oyster harvests.
Current and
previous Louisiana Sea Grant research concerning oysters can be
found by visiting the research
section of this site. Additional information on oysters can be
found on the Louisiana Fisheries Web site (http://www.seagrantfish.lsu.edu)
as well as the Louisiana Marine Education Resources Web site (http://www.lamer.lsu.edu).
Consumer information can be found at BeOysterAware.com,

and corporate entities from across the Gulf of Mexico coast.
