History 1850s 1869 Experimentation into providing a larger half-shell product begins with transporting Eastern oyster by rail to San Francisco Bay. Raising of juvenlies in the Bay proves successful, though cool summer waters prevent natural reproduction, neccessitating a consistent supply from the East Coast. Before long, the growing population of San Francisco has polluted the Bay to the point that importing and raising eastern oysters is no longer commercially viable. 1930s Crassostreagigas, in Tomales Bay, Elkhorn Slough, Drakes Estero, Bodega Lagoon, growth in the California oyster industry. 1940s Oyster farming begun in the Morro Estuary, hundreds of acres employed. 1980s ability to ship oyster larvae marked the beginning of the modern California oyster aquaculture system. Currently, California oysters are grown from seed obtained from hatcheries located in Washington, Oregon, and Hawaii. 25 2013 Morro Bay Commercial Fisheries Economic Impact Report This page intentionally left blank 26 6.
