Description

An oyster survey was conducted at St. Vincent Sound and St. George Sound in1896, and the results of the survey are presented in this report. The object of the survey was to determine: 1 the positions, outlines, characteristics, and richness or productiveness of all oyster beds located in the waters and 2 the positions, outlines, and characteristics of all areas of the bottom in the same waters, suitable for the planting of oysters, either in their natural conditions or after preparation. It was found that the whole eastern portion of the St. Vincent Sound was well fitted by nature for the cultivation of oysters.
