  • Description:
    Remote-setting of oyster, Crassostrea virginica, larvae from the disease-resistant Haskin NEH line is performed every other year in Delaware to supply small-scale oyster enhancement efforts, citizen oyster gardening program. Over the past four remote sets (2009, 2011, 2013, 2015), three types of shell containment gear were utilized to monitor and compare the setting efficiency rate and post-set survival. Shell containment gears included diamond, plastic mesh bags (2009, 2011), wire baskets (2011, 2015), and plastic aquaculture trays (2013, 2015). Average setting efficiency was estimated at 28%, 23%, 17%, and 29% in the respective 2009, 2011, 2013, and 2015 remote sets while gear specific settling efficiency (%) include 28% for mesh bags in 2009, 22% for mesh bags and 33% for wire baskets in 2011, 17% for aquaculture trays in 2013, and 30% for aquaculture trays and 22% for wire baskets in 2015. Settling efficiency was lowest in 2013 using aquaculture trays compared to other years while aquaculture trays in 2015 and wire baskets in 2011 resulted equally higher settling efficiency. For small-scale growers, the stacked aquaculture trays are advantageous for several reasons: reducing handling time, uniform shell distribution within tanks, environmentally friendly alternative, and ease of cleaning detritus between shell layers.
