Growth Study - Summer of 2018.
We are currently in possession of 10,000 oysters. We are looking at the growth of these oysters while monitoring the water quality that they habitat. 7,000 of these oysters are in our upweller at the Yarmouth Town Landing and then the resulting 3,000 oysters are split up in 3 Sea Farm LPAs off the coast of Yarmouth, Maine. We will be monitoring and measuring these oysters once a week to look at the growth and gain information on the pH, dissolved oxygen, and temperature.
In August of 2017 our staff worked with Chad Coffin, President of Maine Clamming Association, Dr. Beal from University of Maine Machias and The Yarmouth Shellfish Commission to put together out first plot study.
