“…In this study, it was carried out by using juveniles >50 mm. Thus, it is necessary to do similar studies using smaller size oysters and evaluate if their response is similar considering that they are more In the growth of shell length of cultivated oysters, there was interaction between cultivation site and depth, and between site and cultivation device, reflecting the effects of habitat and type of substrate of the culture (Brundu et al, 2021;Pogoda et al, 2011Pogoda et al, , 2013.…”

We cultivated the Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) simultaneously in three types of cultivation device sets deployed in two sites: a sheltered site and a non‐sheltered site in the coast of the central area of Chile. Oysters were cultivated in polypropylene trays, nylon cones and lanterns suspended at 2, 5 and 8 m depth from long‐lines. Organism sampling was performed monthly from June, 2014 to May, 2015, measuring temperature, salinity and chlorophyll a. Growth was measured by shell length, wet meat weight and meat yield. At the end of cultivation, there were significant differences in the growth of oysters with higher growth in lanterns at 2 m at Punta Lobería (non‐sheltered site). Higher growth was also found at 2 m in Coliumo bay (sheltered site). Better growth seems associated with the stability of salinity and chlorophyll a. This is the first study that demonstrates the viability of oyster cultivation in non‐sheltered environments on the coast of central Chile.
