Oyster Management Company staff member Vic Brown shows off a
spawning Bluff oyster. The spawn is the dark grey matter in
the bottom right of the oyster. Spawning Bluff oysters
contain up to 50,000 larvae. Almost a million Bluff oysters
that don't contain spawn will be eaten by customers of Big
Fresh and Woolworths supermarkets between now and the end of
the year.
