Abstract: Paper records distribution and densities of oyster larvae within inner Kilkieran Bay and uses Eulerian and Lagrangian techniques to decipher some of the small-scale circulation processes which contribute to larval dispersion. These data were then used in the development of models to explain some of the annual variations in recruitment in terms of the losses and gains of larvae to the beds.
