Synopsis

This publication contains guidance on establishing a bivalve hatchery, covering both the technicalities of setting up and operating a hatchery, as well as some basic scientific background issues. Information is given for each stage of rearing: broodstock conditioning, algal culture, hatchery, nursery and growout of juveniles; including the physical requirements and culture considerations and procedures for each rearing stage. The final chapter on economic considerations provides an insight into the labour involved for each stage of production, along with a list of equipment and supplies, which may be used as a template for a new installation. It also includes a CD-ROM with the complete text of the complete publication.
