Abstract
ABSTRACTThe University of Delaware Project is working toward development of commercial, closed‐cycle, controlled environment shellfish mariculture. As the result of several years' effort, the technical feasibility of raising bivalve molluscs from egg to market size in a recirculating system on a diet of cultured algae has been demonstrated.System optimization and cost reduction efforts are leading to an economically feasible system. Progress toward this goal has been made in several areas, including improved oyster growth rate, reduction in make‐up nutrient cost, and incorporation of a foam fractionation device for water quality maintenance and waste removal.
