Optimum Size for Planting Hatchery Produced Oyster Seed

By Richard K. Wallace, F. Scott Rikard, Jeffrey C. Howe and David B. Rouse, Auburn University - The ability of hatcheries to produce oyster seed for stocking a variety of oyster culture operations is well established. Hatchery produced seed has not gained acceptance along the Gulf Coast primarily because survival of seed is poorly understood, particularly in relation to cost. The present study focuses on determining optimum size of seed for planting and relating survival to costs.
