Algae feed for oyster spat update#

As Ostrea edulisВ is not a broadcast spawner, such as Crassostrea gigas, I do see that a greater investment is needed for successful rearing of larvae than with C. I think the anecdotal warnings we received at the outset were overdone. What has been your experience in getting the native oysters to spawn? The support by NORA and similar groups have also benefitted the momentum immensely by providing core meetings and conferences where various aspects of the whole are interrogated and analysed. Justified! I (we) may only have been involved in this field for a short time, but the benefits are just too important to ignore and to see our efforts and commitment being echoed by substantial restoration initiatives means we are on the right track.

What do you think of the recent surge in native oyster restoration efforts around Europe? On the micro side, we culture various algal species for the oysters, and then Artemia salinaВ for the lobster juveniles. On the macro side, we work with the native oyster, Ostrea edulis, and the European lobster, Homarus gammarus. Which species does the Orkney Shellfish Hatchery work with? We encourage restoration managers to contact their local hatcheries as early as possible in the planning process to provide adequate lead time for production planning and to develop an understanding of the restoration requirements and the production constraints. Please visit the NORA Expert Database for an overview of all native oyster suppliers currently registered as supplying native oysters for restoration purposes. The posting of this blog should not be interpreted as an endorsement by NORA of the Orkney Shellfish Hatchery. The Secretariat are therefore pleased to share the following interview with Raimund Weber of the Orkney Shellfish Hatchery. The need for increased dialogue and understanding between oyster suppliers and oyster restoration practitioners is a common theme at NORA meetings.

Making the most out of the NORA network.
