This study examines the temporal variation in total volume (L) of three oyster lines—Green Hill Pond (GHP), Hybrid (HYB), and NorthEastern High-Survival (NEH)—deployed in 2008 across four Rhode Island farms. Data were collected tri-weekly over 68 weeks from June 2008 to October 2009 at Narragansett Bay farms (NB1 and NB2) as well as coastal pond farms (CP1 and CP2). Notably, oysters from NB1 and CP1 experienced gear loss during winter 2008, affecting overall volume measurements.

Figure 6. Temporal variation in total volume (L) of 3 lines of oysters deployed in 2008 at four Rhode Island farms. Data for each line (GHP: Green Hill Pond; HYB: Hybrid GHP x NEH; NEH: NorthEastern High-Survival) was collected tri-weekly for 68 weeks at Narragansett Bay farms NB1 (A) and NB2 (B) and coastal pond farms CP1 (C) and CP2 (D) from June to October 2008 and from May to October 2009. Due to loss of gear over the winter of 2008, oysters from each line were lost at NB1 and CP1.
