My expertise in the field of shellfish aquaculture is supported by my 35 years
experience in the commercial fishing and aquaculture industry. My knowledge
of environmental and political issues, and my understanding of the effects
of tide, wind, runoff and algae growth on beach and deepwater sites will
be valuable in helping you establish a successful tenure. As a shellfish
farmer I have both beach and deepwater tenure with many types of growout
systems in operation that have proven themselves successful. On our farm
we grow, manila, little neck and varnish clams, pacific and kumamoto oysters,
diploid and triploid cultch oysters, gallos and edulis mussels, geoducks
and scallops. My recommendations on beach layout, seed boosting programs
and grow out methods are all designed for high production at low cost and
low maintenance.
