Oyster rake, gofuzi-guwa, used for 'cultivating' the oysters, i.e. stirring them about roughly as they lie on the living grounds, so as to break off the delicate shell margin (14). Oyster-rake, nihon-zumi, used to gather oysters fallen from the shibi, or to select oysters to be detached (15). Oyster rake, yatsugo, used to collect marketable oysters from the living ground (16)

Oyster Park at Tanna. General view, showing bamboo collectors, arranged in parallel lines. The older collectors, which are seen to bear large oysters, have remained in position somewhat over two years; the newer ones, some of which are indicated by asterisks (*). about one year.

Trehennarvour, Near Auray. The Collectors of Wooden Trays (Plateaux

Ossegor, Near Bayonne. A natural tidal lake fed and drained by a shallow, swift-running creek
The water is sufficiently deep to allow the cases to be rarely exposed. Oyster growth is extremely rapid; an instance of half an inch of shell growth in a month is recorded. Cases are naturally covered with filamentous sea salad, ulva, which protects the oyster against light and heat and gives attachment and shelter to the rapidly growing oyster food

Marennes (La Tremblade). View of the claires for greening the oysters
The draining and feeding canal...is seen margined with planks. The picture shows clearly the flat character of the country, the size of the claires and of embankments, and the way in which the establishments are crowded together. Each shop in the figure represents a collection of adjoining claires
13.
