The minimum water temperature and highest salinity recorded in Deep Bay studies for minor spawning were 25.8°C and 19.5 g/kg respectively, and for mass spawning greater than or equal to 27.4°C and less than 14.9 g/kg. Spawning occurred from May to September with setting or spat collection between June and October, (Mok, 1973).\n\nThe views of Chinese oyster farmers were that water temperature from 21°C to 30°C and salinity 10 to 15 g/kg were necessary for spat fall, together with an appropriate wind direction. It is doubtful whether the wind has any direct significance, but the hydrography is influenced by wind and appropriate salinity levels and other factors referred to in basic literature on oysters are thus affected by wind vectors. Collection of spat was considered best in May and June for around 40 days only. Technicians from a research and culture station in Shekou considered the best period to be shorter, limiting it to about 20 days in May only. Cultch placed too early would be fouled with barnacles and other biota.\n\nThe cultch techniques are discussed in a later section. The typical growth period to achieve market size for Deep Bay oysters has been reported as 5 years, (Mok, 1974a). The life span of the oyster is about 7 years depending on growth rates, (Bromball, 1958). The Chinese oyster farmers consider 4 years as the average time to reach maturity and market size. The Hong Kong oyster farmers interviewed in 1984 indicated that 5 to 7 years is needed in Deep Bay depending on the area of culture. Figure 4 shows the relationship of length of growth period to area of culture suggested by the farmers. The farmers claim that the increased growth period is a result of increased pollution, but there is no direct evidence to support the claim. Neither are adequate hydrographical or chemical data available to examine whether some natural phenomenon is responsible. The Chinese farmers interviewed did not mention the problem.\n\nThe fattening process only takes a few months during the autumn prior to the main winter sales season. In the summer months the flesh is lean and watery as a result of the stress due to production of sperm and eggs but subsequently becomes thick and",

        "content_text": "175\n\nRafting is a common method of culturing oysters in many parts of the world, but has not yet become popular with Hong Kong farmers, despite the significant reduction in growth periods found in experiments conducted in Deep Bay and off Lantau Island (Bromhall, 1958; Mok, 1974b). There are currently some 200 rafts in Deep Bay off Shekou; 30 are operated by the Nantou oystermen and the remainder by the Shajing based oystermen. Two types of raft are used; one about 84 m2 in area, and the other 110 m2. The rafts are constructed from bamboo and expanded polystyrene floats and three rafts are moored by two anchors. Baskets, made from nylon or polypropylene rope with a 30 mm mesh, are attached to the rafts, such that the oysters are always above the sea bed and covered by about 1 m of water. Each basket holds 40 marketable size oysters, the equivalent of 1 kg of wet weight flesh. The advantages of the rafting system are the reduced growth period (about 21/2 years) and consequently enhanced productivity. Oysters are taken from the traditional cultches at about 11/2 years of age and placed in the baskets for growth and fattening over about a further year. The problem of oyster shells cutting through the basket ropes does not seem to be too serious, but clearly greater capital investment is required in the rafting technique compared to bottom-laying.\n\nOyster bed productivity\n\nThe productivity of an oyster bed is difficult to ascertain in view of the different cultch and spacings adopted, and because access to the beds and visibility is so poor. Mok (1974a) reports in his experiments that the density of 5 year old oysters was 89/m2 with an average of 9.2 oysters per cultch. The average wet weight of the soft parts of a marketable size oyster is about 25 g (Binnie & Partners, 1984). The biomass or standing crop would therefore be about 2.2 kg/m2 and, assuming a five year growth period, the production of oyster flesh would thus be 0.45 kg/m2 year. This production is a net figure, since no allowance is made for non-productive areas of the oyster bed (e.g., access paths).\n\nHong Kong oyster farmers indicated that 10,000 cultches with a range of marketable size oysters on each cultch of between 5 and 15, would take up an area of about 743 m2. Assuming 10 oysters",

The son of a sea captain, who died when Karl Ludvig was a child, he trained as a teacher at Notodden. He taught for a short period in Telemark and became a lay preacher in his spare time before entering the Norwegian Missionary Society training college at Stavanger.\n\nShortly after his ordination, Reichelt sailed for China, where, after language study, he was appointed to Ninghsiang, Hunan, where the Norwegian Missionary Society was active. It was his experience at Ninghsiang that influenced the rest of his missionary career. The impressions gained while on a visit to the famous Weishan monastery remained with him for the rest of his life.\n\n“I got a glimpse,” he wrote, “of a peculiar and exclusive world, a world charged with deep religious mysticism, a world full of tragedy and heart-rending but also marvellously rich in points of contact with sacred religious material.”\n\nIn response to what he felt to be a call from God, Reichelt decided to prepare for “special work among these people by the cultivation of friendly intercourse with the monks and enlightened lay people.”\n\nFrom that time Reichelt devoted himself to the study of Far Eastern religions and became in time one of the greatest contemporary authorities on the subject.\n\nReichelt's influence grew and he was later appointed to the staff of a Lutheran Theological Seminary at Shekow, near Hankow. His ideas on a Christian-Buddhist relationship matured sufficiently for him to submit to his home board a proposal for special work among Buddhists in China. He received support from his own missionary society, from the Church of Sweden and the Danish Missionary Society. He also toured Germany, Finland and the",
