Oysters like to grow in reefs, oyster attached to oyster. Spats confuse our bags of shells with oyster reefs and settle down upon them. After a year, the bags are transplanted to our 'Fattening Beds'. Fattening beds are closer to the ocean than catching beds. On a fattening bed, oysters get more of the algae and plankton that the ocean brings into the bay. This oysters can be scattered onto the fattening beds.

Arcachon fait aussi l'élevage complet de ses huîtres. Les jeunes huîtres sont encore placées sur parcs, protégées par un grillage que l'on appelle «blindage», et coiffées d'un petit auvent : la cardine. Elles sont surtout élevées sur tables, en pochons. Elles sont ensuite placées en parcs d'affinage, où elles améliorent encore leur poids et gagnent leur goût inimitable de terroir arcachonnais.

OBS

Affichage : Étape du cycle biologique de production intervenant en fin du cycle d'élevage qui consiste à immerger des huîtres adultes dans des claires [...] ou des parcs [...] d'affinage avant leur conditionnement en vue de leur mise en marché.
