The February 2007 Foveaux Strait oyster survey was a joint programme between the Bluff Oyster Management Company and NIWA, and continues a series of surveys for OYU 5 stock assessment and determining the status of Bonamia exitiosa (bonamia) infection in the oyster population. Sea conditions were good for dredge sampling and operational procedures were comparable to those of previous surveys. A two-phase stratified random survey was successfully completed, along with sampling oysters from two, fine spatial-scale grids, and targeted stations for bonamia infection. Altogether 153 stations were sampled; 90 first-phase, 14 second-phase stations, 9 target stations, and 40 stations from the two grids. All stations were sampled for oyster density and infection by bonamia.
