Brood stock quality Industry based research
Glycogen and Fecundity
- NIRS technology
- Oyster Seed Holdings
- LOLA, DEBY.13, DEBY.14
- Glycogen at time zero and just prior to conditioning
– Different treatments prior to conditioning
- Fecundity/egg counts on spawning day
Growth
Egg count vs. Glycogen
Egg Count vs. Length
False winter and Dermo
- Belief that false winter aids in conditioning and “resets”
Dermo if present
- H° : oysters put through false winter will have lower
prevalence and intensity of Dermo compared to those not put through false winter

Questions about the planning process
What role industry?
- Determining research capabilities
- e.g., carbonate chemistry?
- e.g., conditioning studies?
- e.g., closed systems?
Research hatchery manager?
- Oversee facility, part of AQ Program
- PI for hatchery related research
- “Journeyman” with experience
- e.g., Alan Barton
Expertise in design?
- VA industry?
- Other sources of expertise
- Donaldson
- Meritt
- Davis
Family deployment 2016
2N Deployment 2016
- 49 low salinity families
– 25 also deployed in York River*
- 50 high salinity families
– 15 also deployed in Lewisetta* * some families perform well in both environments
- long line – York River & Cambridge
- rack & bag – Lynnhaven & Lewisetta
- Hungars Creek
– Cherrystone – 30 families (15 high, 15 low, 2 reps per) – rack and bag – Do ABC families perform differently in the creek environments of the Eastern Shore?
- loggers in place to measure temp. & salinity
