Settlement of spat of the backwater oyster, Crassostrea madrasensis (Preston) in Pulicat lake
Spawning of the backwater oyster Crassostrea madrasensis (Preston) and settlement of
its spat on the cultch materiel have been observed from April 1980 to November 1982 at Pulicat
Lake. The intensity of spat settlement on the cultch was correlated with the abundance of veliger
larvae in the plankton. Settlement of spat was found to a high during May and low during
November when the salinity was high and low respectively in the lake. The salinity of the taka
during the summer months seams to be favourable for the growth and settlement of the larvae.
