Shandaph Oyster Co. Inc.

Published purpose

To use remote setting as a tool to produce oysters seed which can be grown out further using upwelling equipment. Then they can be placed in BOBRs for final grow out. We will be attempting to set diploid and triploid oysters this fall. Tracking of time and temperature, setting rates and setting success will all be tracked to allow us to refine the process and equipment used so that the process can become an integral part of our farming operation. Larval balls will be received from Dal Aquatron through out the fall and will be set on oyster shell dust ( 500 microns) and other equipment ( Spat collectors). The oysters set on shell chip will be placed in an upweller when size appropriate and the collectors will be placed on lines for growout
