Mayland’s annual survey of baby oysters— spat—indicates that 1977’s survival rate for the Pit shelifish may pe the best in a decade. With luck, the high survival rate will be translated into a large oyster harvest in three or four years. The news has been bad for the last two years and for most of the years since 1965’s record crop. The oysters spawned as usual, filling the water with their larvae but something happened and only a relative few sur- vived to attach them- - selves to existing shells and grow. This year’s results are more encouraging. “It is one of the best sets of spat in the last 10 years,” said George Krantz, the University of Maryland’s, chief oyster scientist.
