The research delves into the causes of oyster mortality during summer, particularly focusing on the impacts of spawning, food availability, pathogens, and temperature. Findings reveal that energy depletion from spawning significantly affects the health and metabolism of oysters, increasing their risk of mortality post-spawning. This study enhances the understanding of mass mortality mechanisms and offers valuable insights for effective management and development strategies in oyster aquaculture, both in Australia and globally.
