title: [Rearing crassostrea gigas (Bivalvia:Ostreidae) in a semi-rigid net].
abstract: A culture system, consisting of a semi-rigid net, with an ABS frame filled with styrofoam was used for the culture of the Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas, from 3.0 mm length seed. The culture system was tested in three locations, two inside San Quintín Bay and one in San Martín Island. The mean monthly growth was 8.69 mm and 8.96 mm in the Bay and 7.33 mm in San Martín Island. These growth rates show that this species can attain commercial sizes in 6 months, using the culture system tested.
