Comparative Study Of Four Popular Grow Out Methods, Jack White
Comparative Study Of Four Popular Grow Out Methods, Jack White
Reports
The 'Comparative Study of Four Popular Grow Out Methods' was undertaken to examine four promising grow-out methodologies for a small aquaculture operation and to compare them with regard to costs, convenience, maintenance and performance. Its objective was to determine whether any system emerged as more cost effective and efficient than the others, and whether a clear choice exists. Stated more simply, it was an opportunity to explore the "pros and cons" of the various systems in use.

Growing Oysters In Suspended Bags Using Ropes, Anchors And Buoys, Curtis B. Jenkins
Reports
The purpose of this project was to see if it is feasible to grow oysters suspended off the river bottom in bags by using ropes, anchors and buoys. Growing oysters in this manner would allow oysters to be grown on oyster ground with bottom not suitable to grow oysters.

Testing A New Approach For Floating Cultivation Of Oysters On The Seaside, Jeffrey Hammer
Reports
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the use of a floating bag method of oyster cultivation on the Seaside of Va. The use of a disease resistant seed stock. The use of a strict protocol, which involved aggressive culling and, removal of slower growing animals early on in the grow-out phase.
Validation Of An Individual Quick Freezing (Iqf) Process To Reduce Vibrio Vulnificus Numbers To <30mpn/G In Raw Oysters, Ron Bevans, Luke Cowart
Validation Of An Individual Quick Freezing (Iqf) Process To Reduce Vibrio Vulnificus Numbers To <30mpn/G In Raw Oysters, Ron Bevans, Luke Cowart
Reports
This validation study was conducted during the months of July, August and Sept., 2003. The Food and Drug Administration and the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Conference require that oysters used for a validation study are collected during the same processing day, are from the same lot of shellfish, and have an adjusted geometric mean (AGM) MPN of at least I 00,000/g of Vibrio vulnificus as an initial load. The oysters were removed from refrigerated storage and held at 71 °F (21 °C) for 40-45 hours prior to freezing in order to achieve a minimum AGM of 100,000/g Vibrio vulnificus . After …
