  abstract = {{T}he natural productivity of ecosystems, farming practices and mortality events drive the rearing density and growth of oysters in shellfish farming areas. {T}he variability of these drivers, which can be of natural or anthropic origin, is therefore an important source of variation in the growth performance and production of shellfish. {K}nowledge of these variabilities and their relative importance help producers to anticipate their effects and adapt aquaculture practices in order to limit negative impacts and guarantee a constant, or at least acceptable, level of production. {I}n this paper, we implement a 3{D} model coupling hydrodynamics, primary production and individual growth to predict oyster growth and production in {B}ourgneuf {B}ay ({F}rench {A}tlantic coast). {W}e set up numerous scenarios to compare and hierarchize the impacts of aquaculture practices, environmental variability and mortality events on shellfish production. {O}ur results allowed us to propose a simplified management tool, in the form of response functions, to optimize shellfish farming practices interannually. {T}his tool will help shellfish farmers quickly recover production levels in response to variations in mortality and/or environmental conditions.},
