摘　　要：The Portuguese oyster (Crassostrea angulata) is an important fishery resource in Taiwan. This study investigated oyster cultures at two locations along the coast of Taisi Township from March 2012 to July 2014. The average recruitment density, measured once every two weeks, of the oyster larvae was 256.4 ± 236.6 individuals/shell (N = 62) at site A and 118.5 ± 140.2 individuals/shell (N = 39) at site B. The average adherence density of the barnacle larvae was 187.1 ± 251.2 individuals/shell (N = 60) at site A and 60.9 ± 112.5 individuals/shell (N = 37) at site B. In Taiwan, C. angulata?spawned all year. The primary spawning season was from March to September. The primary of adherence spawning season of barnacles was from March to October. Rainfall was the major factor that influenced oyster C. angulata?and barnacle settlement, the eigenvalue of PC1 was 1.83 and could explain 61.0%. There are two main culturing seasons that move oyster larvae from coast of Taisi to farms in other places: from March to May and from August to September. Although the oyster larvae are more abundant in spring, fishermen prefer harvesting the larvae in autumn to avoid the typhoon season (July-September).The Portuguese oyster (Crassostrea angulata) is an important fishery resource in Taiwan.
