---

150 tons of oysters, from Brittany and Normandy, should be reintroduced into five sites of the Arcachon Bay by March. Tuesday 2010/03/23, 22 tons of Oyster from the Bay of Quiberon arrived at Piquey in Lège-Cap-Ferret (33). About fifty oyster-farmers and ten boats brought them onto the site of Canelon and divided them into the oyster beds. Oyster-farmers count on this reintroduction to reseed the oyster grounds. In the same way, the Japanese Oyster (Crassostrea Gigas) imported from Vancouver, was reimplanted in 1971.
