Abstract

For long term persistence of species, it is important to consider population structure. 28 Traits that hold adaptive advantage such as reproductive timing and stress resilience may differ 29 among locales. Knowledge and consideration of these traits should be integrated into 30 conservation efforts. A reciprocal transplant experiment was carried out monitoring survival, 31 growth, and reproduction using three established populations of Ostrea lurida within Puget 32 Sound, Washington. Performance differed for each population. Ostrea lurida from Dabob Bay 33 had higher survival at all sites but lower reproductive activity and growth. Oysters from Oyster 34 Bay demonstrated greater reproductive activity at all sites with moderate growth and survival. 35 Together these data suggest the existence of O. lurida population structure within Puget Sound 36 and provide information on how broodstock should be selected for restoration purposes.
