Talk:Oyster reef

Hi Hollis, Major points: I like how simple and straightforward your article is. "Simple" in the way Amish are "plain", it's a compliment. I think the Crassostrea virginica was thrown in kind of out of no where, same with the sentence on Oyster reef restoration below the introduction paragraph. maybe expand on both? They seem important/interesting, so having a little more on them could add to the article.

Minor Points: Cool picture, maybe add a close up picture of the oysters too? Really show off the structure. The sentence "reefs provide refugia for prey or juvenile species" could be reworded. It's hard to say if "juvenile phish" are the prey, or in addition to the prey. Maybe throw in the word "nursery" too. Cool article, I really dig it.

Could you precise : Oysters are opportunistic animals. They support Normal salinity, Brakish water, variable salinity (estuaries with tidal current and water stratification) and fresh water ( Etheriidae, E. eliptica in Africa river). It existed, during late jurassic time, (Kimmeridgian, Châtillon shale Formation, Lower membre (Geyssant et al. 1993). as free rolling oyster reeefs (Wilson 1989) : "Ostreoliths" and as "Oyster Patch reefs"(E. Hatem et al. 2013)
