Up to 27 million collectors are installed there each summer. The egg-laying process is made possible thanks to the natural conditions of the Bay, which favour the reproduction of oysters. To lay eggs, the oysters must be in water that it is at a temperature of between 21 \u00b0C and 24 \u00b0C, with sufficient light and moderate levels of salinity. The waters of the Arcachon Bay are shallow and therefore always have sufficient light. The mixture of sea water entering through the channels and the fresh water arriving via the River Leyre to the south-east of the Bay, makes it possible to ensure optimal levels of salinity for oyster reproduction are maintained.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-7a42bf4\" data-id=\"7a42bf4\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-273c34e elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"273c34e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" src=\"https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/naissains-huitres.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-4970\" alt=\"Oyster spat from the Arcachon Bay\" srcset=\"https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/naissains-huitres.jpg 550w, https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/naissains-huitres-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/naissains-huitres-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-adc9c04 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"adc9c04\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-wider\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b3c6ebf\" data-id=\"b3c6ebf\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-22f7ba7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"22f7ba7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Oyster farms <\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b4a1244 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b4a1244\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" src=\"https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/1px.png\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-666\" alt=\"Oysters from the Arcachon Bay L\u00e8ge-Cap Ferret\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-05b35f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"05b35f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Oysters are raised in farms.

The nature of the tides causes a body of water to flow from the entry channels to the eastern coast, which is the furthest away, and vice versa. The work of Arcachon Bay oyster farmers is punctuated by this natural phenomenon. When the coefficient is greater than 70, we speak of &#8220;a high tidal range (spring tides)&#8221;, when the oyster farmers then go out on the &#8220;tide&#8221;. Three hours before low tide time, the oyster farmers use their barges to work on their farms and return when the tide rises, about 3 hours after low tide. When the coefficient is less than 70, we talk of &#8220;low tidal ranges (neap tides)&#8221;. This is when the oyster farmers stay ashore. They work at their huts. The time of the tide changes every day by around 50 minutes. In order not to miss the times of the tides, oyster farmers refer to the tide directory. This shows the time of low tide. Depending on the geographic location of the farms, oyster farmers will estimate the time when their oyster beds will be uncovered.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5e754f2\" data-id=\"5e754f2\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-overlay\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-79e901b elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"79e901b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" src=\"https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marees-arcachon.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3212\" alt=\"The tides of Arcachon Bay\" srcset=\"https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marees-arcachon.jpg 550w, https:\/\/huitres-arcachon-capferret.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/marees-arcachon-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Arcachon Bay &#8211; a unique terroir Oyster farming has shaped the natural landscapes of the Arcachon Bay for centuries.
