Hatchery production

The next step in increasing oyster culture intensity might involve hatchery production and settling of spat on cultch. Once again, the cultch would be later distributed over a bed leased or owned by the oyster culturist (Eig. 1). Control of predators such as starfish and oyster drills could easily be a part of culture at all levels.

Abstract To date, European mussel culture has relied entirely on wild seed from suspended collectors or mussel beds. One problem faced by blue mussel producers is the unpredictability of seed supply, the amounts of wild seed available being extremely variable from year to year. A second problem is that recently spawned mussels cannot be sold due to insufficient meat. Hatcheries can complement wild seed supply. Hatcheries also allow triploid induction that produces non-maturing mussels. In this chapter, the different steps in hatchery production of mussel seed are described. A final section addresses future trends. 

In the following sections, outcomes of the BLUE SEED project in the different steps in hatchery production of mussel seed are described. A final section addresses future trends. 

One of the reasons why hatchery production of mussel seed is less developed than for other bivalves, such as oysters or scallops, is most probably the fact that demand for the industry has been limited until now and that very large-scale production is required to make hatchery seed competitive with wild seed. As a result, future developments of mussel seed supply will depend on the evolution of wild seed availability and demand from the mussel industry.
