Red abalone at The Cultured Abalone Farm, Goleta, CA
Oyster seed from the Bodega Bay Oyster Company
As part of my dissertation research, these F1 Red abalone were cultured under either control-pH or ocean acidification conditions for 3 months during sensitive developmental stages. Larvae were settled on either crustose coralline algae or Navicula spp. diatoms. After 3 months, animals were cultured under ambient conditions for 6 years and monitored for growth and survival.
