"Objectives of Oregon's Oyster Mortality Study from July 1, 1967-March 31, 1968, were: (1) to monitor oyster mortalities to detect a possible increase in mortality rate, (2) to collect hydrographic data for comparison with data from areas where high oyster mortalities occur, and (3) to furnish oysters from a relatively mortality-free area to the University of Washington for histological examination and comparison to oysters from high-mortality areas."
