Estimated from 7,500,000 oysters × 50 gal/day each. Excluded from total ESV to avoid double-counting with nitrogen removal.
Formulas Applied
N = 10 ac × 38.1 kg/ac/yr × 1.10 × 0.603 × $20/kg × 0.48
C = 10 ac × 0.25 t × 2.39 × 0.603 × $75/t × 0.48
H_comm = 4.05 ha × $1,738/ha × 1.10 × 1.05 × 0.603 × 0.48
H_rec = 4.05 ha × $851/ha × 1.10 × 1.05 × 0.603 × 0.48
