LINE S SELECTION SITE ORIGIN ATTRIBUTES NOTES XB
Founder population strarted by Allen at HSRL using Haskin lines in 1990s, then selection in VA, new material added in 2008 Mass selection for MSX, continuous exposure to ambient Dermo, seems to favor higher salinity
DEBY-Lynn
Wild Del Bay oysters selected at VIMS in York by Burreson group in 80s, new material added in 2008 Mass selection for MSX, continuous exposure to ambient Dermo, general all purpose across salinity ranges
hANA
Founders from three wild populations in Louisiana ca. 2000-2004, new material added in 2008 Mass selection for MSX, continuous exposure to ambient Dermo, grows (too?) fast, mortality in some places Discontinued starting 2018
HNRY
Founders from wild and selected populations ca. 2005, family selection program, top families form terminal brood stock population Family selection for high survival in high salinity, continuous exposure to ambient Dermo, co- selected for shape, growth rate, meat yield
Released 2017
DEBY-Lew ~15 York, then Coan R.
Wild Del Bay oysters selected at VIMS in York by Burreson group in 80s, new material added in 2008 Mass selection for MSX before low salnity selection began in 2008, low ambient Dermo exposure, not in high demand Discontinued starting 2018
Lola
Founders from three wild populations in Louisiana ca. 2000-2004, new material added in 2008 Mass selection for MSX up to 2008, then continuously held at low salinity, low exposure to Dermo, widely popular at various salinity
LILY
Founders from wild and selected populations ca. 2005, family selection program, top families form terminal brood stock population Family selection for high survival in low salinity, low exposure to ambient Dermo, co-selected for shape, growth ratem, meat yield
