AbstractThe Chichester Harbour Oyster Partnership Initiative (CHOPI) was formed in 2010 to promote stock growth within the Ostrea edulis fishery in the Harbour. An important requirement of this project was to gain an insight into the reproductive success of the Harbour’s Ostrea edulis population, by monitoring the oyster sex ratio, their gametogenesis and numbers of brooded larvae, some of which had been relaid into high density (minimum 20 m-1) broodstock areas.
