26592 Shellfish Spawning Data Set Published / External 23141 Aquaculture Systems & Ecology Branch (ASEB) Project Completed Provide shellfish in support of Milford Lab efforts, external research projects and regional shellfish restoration. Conduct aquaculture experiments aimed at optimizing static culture of larvae. Examine new technologies for measuring organismal stress in aquaculture systems. Developing sustainable methods for rearing shellfish to meet the growing national demand for nutritious, protein rich seafood is the goal of the culture group at the Milford Laboratory. The culture group accomplishes this by producing shellfish to support a variety of aquaculture research and conducting laboratory experiments to identify ways to improve shellfish husbandry practices. Heated and filtered seawater is available to raise many species of bivalve larvae in Milford Laboratory’s hatchery. Adult shellfish are conditioned for spawning and their larvae are reared in 400-liter conical tanks. Trays and indoor raceways receive unfiltered seawater with natural phytoplankton to grow post-set shellfish to a “seed” size. Species recently cultured at the Milford lab include bay scallops, oysters, clams, and mussels, all of which have economic value. The shellfish hatchery also provides staff, and external research partners, with animals for experimental work year round. In addition, the hatchery has supported multiple restoration efforts through the provision of shellfish.
