Oyster

The recruitment, growth, and mortality rates of the eastern oyster in different water variables was being researched to determine the differences in the extreme low salinity effects on the oysters. Population success was a main concern of the article. The research took place in the Breton Sound in LA over a two year period. Understanding the concepts of the population dynamics is important for researchers and scientists so they can further predict the oyster population. They were able to test their ideas in the Breton Sound. Here they placed cages containing seed and market sized oysters along a salinity gradient where they recorded their results for two years. The oysters were not completely protected as they wanted to perform a study that had natural effects. Therefore they exposed these oysters to predation as they kept parts of the cages open while other sections remained closed. The predation would then be a part of their mortality rate.…

If you were to stick a shucking knife in that oyster and pry it open, you would find a thick salty slime surrounding a tan leathery lump. The contents…

difficulty by mocking the little monk’s family and anyone who is similar, using the oyster metaphor as a representation of sacrifice, and by using rhetorical questions to suggest that venturing into new, but risky, territories are necessary for discoveries. Though religion is portrayed to be valuable, the people who wouldn’t be able to handle that the Earth orbits the sun are mocked and are accused to be living lives with no achievements.
