California oyster industry' is aimed primarily toward production of the Pacific giant oyster, which has yielded far less during the postwar years than before hostilities. Importation of seed from japan was cut ofT and the landings decreased accordingly. Expected in- crease in oystering activity after the war failed to materialize, because large acreages of oyster land \\ ere being held and not planted, although sefed was then available. During the past biennium the more progres- sive oystermen have become active, augmented b\- new additions to the field. Since 1952 the importation of larger shipments of oyster seed from Japan has resulted in the enlargement of oystering areas within California bays. Morro Bay operators have taken the lead in progressive ovster cul- ture by the introduction of methods \ielding greater landings per unit of area. The most modern and effi- cient oyster handling plant in California now is located there. Many Young Oysters Oystering activity in Marin County has recently led to the construction of several small oyster houses to handle harvests from increased plantings. In Humboldt County test plantings by have shown such rapid growth that very complete allocation of available oyster lands has resulted. There are now young oys- ters in California waters in sufficient abundance to bring Pacific o\ster production \\ell toward the degree of opulence enjoyed during 1938-1941. Consumer demand for oysters in San Francisco and Los Angeles represents the greatest in the West. These demands are far from being met and a still greater market is appearing for canned oyster meats and oyster stew, leading to production attempts on all potential oyster lands. Exp
