Abstract: Paper gives an account of oysters sampled from Kilkieran Bay and Bertraghboy Bay including data on their distribution and ecology in these bays. Growth and population structure are compared with other oyster-producing areas in Ireland. These data are reviewed in relation to the feasibility of redeveloping such areas of former extensive oyster production.
