  • Description:
    A Sea Grant Project final report for the period covered: 1 September 1968 to 31 August 1970.

    The major goal of this Sea Grant Project was revival of the state's shellfish industry. It proposed to do this through systems engineered techniques for artificial shellfish culture, including the steps of breeding, holding brood stock, spawning them on command, rearing larvae and cultivating the progeny in the field. The primary emphasis was on oysters. The multidisciplina​ry investigation carried out by the departments noted in the following organization chart, sought to define practical procedures for breeding including command spawning and culture including environmental control, supplemental feeding and growth in natural waters; all leading to the design of a commercial oyster hatchery with the potential for a lengthened spawning season and accelerated growth of larvae. Cost reductions were sought through studies of harvesting and processing techniques. The systems engineering study was planned to provide a computer simulation of a closed environment oyster production plant which could be used to design a plant and analyze the effect of changes on investment and operating costs. Carrying out this program resulted also in strengthening the faculty and curricula in Marine Science and Engineering and contributed materially to the decision to establish a College of Marine Studies.
