Growing seed clams is a labor-intensive process that begins in January when we collect soft-shell clam broodstock from local flats. Hatchery staff grow algae (single-celled plants, or phytoplankton) to feed clam broodstock for approximately two months before inducing them to spawn. The newly born larval clams swim in the water and are microscopic.

SOFT-SHELL CLAM SEED. Soft-shell clam (Mya arenaria) must be ordered by February to ensure an adequate supply.Clams that are 1 mm to 2 mm are ready for nursery trays or upwellers and can be shipped to you between May and June, or picked up at the hatchery. If you require over-wintered seed (5-8 mm) that is ready for planting, orders placed in February will be ready in May or June of the next year.

A.R.C.'s modern Hatchery and Nurseries incorporate advanced and innovative technologies to ensure the successful and healthy production of our shellfish. We have the ability to spawn a wide variety of shellfish including the Eastern Oyster, Quahog, Surf Clam and Bay Scallop. We spawn and grow hundreds of millions of animals per year for local.

RCTB purchased about 500,000 seed clams from hatcheries. Baby clams, called seed are grown at various locations. The yield is the estimated number of clams received from the hatchery minus the culling of very small clams that are not growing well, mortality and statistical variation in measurements. The typical yield is about 80%, about 400,000.

Clam seed are planted on shellfish leases in the waters around Sapelo Island. Currently, there are less than a dozen shellfish leases in Georgia. Sapelo Sea Farms holds five of the leases; growing clams on two of them and harvesting wild oysters from all five. Sapelo Sea Farms produces the vast majority of clams in Georgia and continually seeks.

Clams are a type of shellfish that are popular in many parts of the world. They can be eaten raw, cooked, or used in a variety of dishes. Clams can also be used to produce clam seed. Clam seed is produced by harvesting clams from their natural habitat, then culturing them in a controlled environment. The clams are placed in tanks or ponds where.

13. Transport seed properly. • Clam seed should be kept cool, moist, and out of water. A cooler with ice on the bottom covered with cardboard provides a good base on which to sit a bag of seed. Be sure the cardboard is thick enough so the ice doesn't freeze the clams. • While transporting, keep the cooler out of the sun.

Juvenile clam (seed) production: Clam larvae are bred in hatcheries and are fed a diet of algae until they reach about 1 mm in size. Larvae develop shells after 2 days. After 7 to 14 days they lose their swimming ability, settle out, and are moved to containers with mesh that allow water flow over the seed. Nursery stage:

The initial stocking density was 3.0 grams seed (wet weight) per cubic centimeter. The seed clams were sorted on days 14, 52 and 73 of the 83-day culture period. Based on the amount of available algae, the daily ration ranged 1 to 4 percent dry algae per clam (wet weight). Algal culture Culture tubes were used for fluidization of seed clams.
