The Bluff Oyster Management Company and NIWA completed a joint survey of Foveaux Strait oysters in February 2009. This survey continues a series of surveys in OYU 5 for stock assessment and determining the status of Bonamia exitiosa (bonamia) infection in the oyster population. A two-phase stratified random survey was undertaken, along with sampling additional target stations. Altogether 130 stations were sampled; 100 first-phase stations, 15 second-phase stations, 6 target stations for bonamia infection, 6 stations in the recreational fishery area, and 3 (2006) video sites. Oyster samples were collected from all first-phase, target, and video stations to determine the status of bonamia infection. Sampling and operational procedures were comparable to those of previous surveys.
