Experiments on the effect of salinity on the growth of oysters of Malpeque bay / author J.W.B. Cox.: Fs52-3/83E-PDF

"It may be concluded from this work that a lack of salinity does not stimulate the growth of oysters and their spat but retards it. In creeks and rivers in this district, where the salinity is lower than the open bay, the oysters grow fast. This fast growth than would not be due to the lower salinity but to the higher temperatures which exist there"--Conclusions, page 11.
