Oyster tables ... consist of a metal tubular structure on which grow-out bags containing the oysters are supported. This platform raises the bags sufficiently to ensure water circulation around the oysters and to prevent contact with the sediments. Depending on the site, oysters can be uncovered during each tidal cycle or remain constantly under water.
