Abstract
Below 5 °C. oysters do not change in fatness, as judged by the ratio, dry weight to space between the valves. Between 5 and 15° they get thin. Between 15 and 20° they fatten. Above 20° they may fatten slightly but spawning makes them thin. When the salinity drops below 20‰ no fattening takes place even at temperatures between 15 and 20°.
