oysterbed
Bivalve cultivation ground
An oysterbed is a place where oysters grow or are cultivated, either naturally on the seafloor or in managed aquaculture operations.
The term combines the sense of bed as a flat underwater surface with the idea of a place where something develops: The bay's oysterbeds have been harvested for generations.
