The Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas (Thunberg), native to Japan, China, Korea, Southeast Russia and Taiwan, was first discovered in Northland, New Zealand in 1971 and then in the Marlborough Sounds in 1977. The origins of both populations are unknown. In Northland, the oyster spread quickly through high levels of natural reproduction and through incidental transfer on oyster sticks used for the farming of the native oyster, Saccostrea glomerata. In the inner Marlborough Sounds, including Kenepuru Sound, the population increased slowly over fifteen years, although large scale spawning and recruitment occurred in Tasman Bay. The low natural colonisation and agreements to limit the aquaculture of the species permitted an opportunity ...
