In order to investigate the density effect on growth performance and cultural production in tidal flat rack oyster farm, in November 2012, oysters were kept in PE bag (0.5 × 1.0 m, mesh size10 mm) at four densities: 25, 50, 75 and 100 ea/bag. The density effect on growth was only observed after the outbreak of summer mortality, which resulted in significant decrease in the growth of high density group. To minimize the effect of summer mortality, the second experiment was carried out in March 2013 at five densities: 25, 50, 75, 100 and 200 ea/bag. Being no significant mortality, significant suppression of growth in shell length and total weight but not in fatness and meat weight at 200 ea/bag. In any case, if being stocked by oysters in 40-50 mm shell length, a commercial size oyster can harvest with 6-8 months but not at 200 ea/bag. Being achieved 7.23 kg/bag at 200 ea/bag, regression analysis suggested that the optimal density was 150 ea/bag for maximum biomass production. This finding suggested a strategic approach for stocking densities: 100 ea/bag for maximum individual growth and 150 ea/bag for maximum biomass production.
