Abstract
Drifting oyster larvae often survive by fastening their shells to those of preceding generations, making shell aggregates. Many other permanently sedentary organisms also attach themselves to oyster shells; thus arise oyster shell communities, in which we may find bacteria, diatoms, red, green and brown algae, protozoans, sponges, hydroids, actinians, bryozoa, pelecypods and ascidians as fixed permanent dwellers.
