History of the Chesapeake Bay Oyster

The Chesapeake Bay oyster has a long and storied history. Native Americans were harvesting oysters from the bay thousands of years ago, and European settlers soon followed suit. By the 19th century, the Chesapeake Bay oyster industry was booming, and oysters were being shipped all over the world.

However, the oyster industry has faced a number of challenges in recent years, including overfishing, pollution, and disease. As a result, the Chesapeake Bay oyster population has declined significantly. However, thanks to the efforts of conservationists and oyster farmers, the oyster population is slowly starting to recover.

Biology of the Chesapeake Bay Oyster

The Chesapeake Bay oyster is a filter feeder, meaning that it eats by filtering plankton and other small particles from the water. Oysters are also hermaphroditic, meaning that they can both produce eggs and sperm. Oysters typically live for 5-10 years, and they can grow to be quite large. Some oysters have been known to grow to be over 12 inches long!
