I'm wondering if they are North American Oysters or European Oysters. We=
 =20
have a bed in this area which is in an area of brackish water. The Oysters=
=20
are  much larger and a different shape than the native ones. When I did so=
me =20
investigating some years ago I was told that the spat was released probabl=
y=20
20  or so years ago from Sambro and they did settle in a few areas.
