A note[edit]

The first paragraph mentions a long history going back thousands of years. Then the second paragraph launches right into a discussion of cages or mesh bags. The classic methods of allowing spat to fix on a prepared shell culch with possible later transplantation is not mentioned in this article and should be (in my opinion). 67.86.73.252 (talk) 03:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The enclosed vs. wild maturation techniques are now mentioned and distinguished within the article. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 03:13, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The section on cultivation is lengthy and discusses a fair amount of the life processes of oysters. In order to better engage readers and prevent confusion, perhaps the section could be split up into Life Cycle and Cultivation, rather than having the two lumped together. Cultivation could also include where oysters are typically farmed and who is the main exporter Msampsoneves (talk) 23:27, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

External links[edit]

External links in this article appear to be a collection of commercial enterprises which is not in accordance with WP:EL. I propose adding a link to dmoz instead. Brianhe (talk) 12:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Where can I find farming manual for this topic....???[edit]

The manual of prawn farming can be found at http://www.aciar.gov.au/publication/CoP01

However, as far as I know that Oyster production is Australia is a big business and I'm amazed that this org doesn't have this doc

Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Policy Analysis[edit]

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 28 March 2022 and 30 May 2022. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Msampsoneves (article contribs).

Overall, the content on this page appears to be well cited. There are some points of confusion for readers with less background on the oyster farming industry (primarily regarding cultivation), as well as important sections of information that are missing. Important information that could be added includes but is not limited to: buisness and trade (income from farming, which countries are farming, networth of the industry), and the negative environmental impacts of oyster farming that are not mentioned in the article yet. Thank you for reading! Msampsoneves (talk) 23:33, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Missing Information[edit]

Hello, I think that the Environmental impact section is missing important information about the negative impact that farmed oysters can have on local ecosystems when farmed species are brought into new ecosystems and become invasive. One example of this is the Pacific Oyster, it negatively effects biodiversity in areas where it is invasive. More about this topic can be read in this paper: Cite error: There are <ref> tags on this page without content in them (see the help page). https://rdcu.be/cL5Mq Msampsoneves (talk) 23:12, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Intro to Policy Critique Assignment[edit]

The 'history' section is well cited, yet seems to lack a chronological flow that is easy to follow, seeming to bounce back between the Roman's practices and cultivation in the 1800s. I think adding information about oyster farming in the 1900s would also be very useful to add to the history section, and also adding some history between the 4th century and the 1800s would be helpful (Question B/G). There also seems to be some contradiction in the 'Environmental Impact' section, claiming that their impact is 'minimal to positive'. While the positive aspects of their effects on the environment are clearly and thoroughly explained, it seems to underrepresent the other 'minimal' impacts present (Question E/G). What about the cultivation is not necessarily seen as a 'positive' impact? Some information that could be added include the economics of the industry (how much revenue does it generate, where are oysters consumed the most, comparison to other shellfish industries, etc.) and possibly a section that describes how the oysters are provided to consumers (what % goes to markets, restaurants, etc., how long does it take for a farmed oyster to reach the market, which oysters are the most consumed [could be added to 'Varieties of farmed oysters']) (Question G) Jcemery (talk) 01:39, 26 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
