The industry relies on wild oysters? They don't farm in Apalachicola Bay?

Yes, there is at least one oyster farm. I don’t know enough about the industry as to how they deal with predators. But overall, the industry relied on wild oysters. The nature of Apalachicola Bay, it’s single tributary, generally avoids the problems of the Chesapeake watershed. Anyway, we can hopefully expect the number of farms to explode.
