Abstract
ABSTRACTMolluscan shellfish hatcheries have been in operation since 1969 in Washington State. The progress and overall performance of these facilities since that time are reviewed. Hatchery operations are discussed from the viewpoint of biological methods and financial success.Biologically, a comparison of hatchery seed is made with the imported Japanese seed and the domestically cultched seed in Washington State. The oyster seed market is analyzed in relation to quality of seed, number of oysters per shell, competition from natural seed sources, failure to standardize a case of seed and the inability to supply promised markets.Economically, the discussion is of the advantages and disadvantages of a hatchery operation with reference to facility size, operational economics and market demand.
