Oystering is Big Business

Record #:
14969
Abstract:
The oyster industry has been elevated to a position of great importance in the commercial fishery business of North Carolina. Due to the rapidly increasing consumption of oysters, which has badly depleted the supply of natural beds in North Carolina, the State Department of Conservation has been making an effort to rehabilitate existing beds and encourage new beds in the sound along the coast by the transplantation of seed oysters.
