Shellfish in the Inner Harbour

A trip taken around the Inner Harbour during a 0.3 m. low tide revealed lots of molluscs on pontoons, posts, bridges etc and lots of feral mussels on the posts near Newport Quays.

Several oysters were found in the intertidal zone on the Jervois Bridge. While we hoped they would be native oysters they turned out to be feral Pacific oysters.
