Spatial patterns in the condition index of the wild Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas in a macrotidal coastal ecosystem: Influence of tidal processes and beyond
Highest condition index (LSCI) of Crassostrea gigas in ocean-influenced areas than in river-influenced areas Immersion level (IL) and local oceanic flushing time (LoFt) explained 33% of LSCI spatial variability Long food access time and rapid water renewal from the ocean enhance C. gigas gonadal development
