A Practical Manual For Remote Setting In Virginia

Remote setting is a method of oyster seed production resulting in several baby oysters (spat) attached to old oyster shell. The resulting oyster seed is referred to as “spat-on-shell”. This method is in contrast to single oyster seed production (cultchless) where the result is individual oysters grown out in bags or cages. This project reinvestigates remote setting as a means of oyster seed production and provides a manual on how to facilitate remote setting based aquaculture.
