| Popis: |
Aquatic Farms, located on windward Oahu, Hawaii, is engaged in the commercial production of oysters in a partially recirculated, intensive raceway system. Selected phytoplankton species are cultured in 0.2-ha earthen ponds and fed to the oysters by a gravity-fed overflow piping system. The bivalve culture system and its operation are described. Oysters grown in this manner are currently reaching a market size of 55 g in 10 months (from 2 mm seed). A shorter grow-out period is suggested by recent developments in the operation. The efficiency of this system in converting phytoplankton to oysters is discussed. |
