Trang 1To address increased interest in oyster aquaculture, an applied research and demonstration project was conducted during 2016-17 to evaluate an oyster breeding process to Florida conditions Diploid and triploid oysters were cultured at commercial farms in four counties and
at the UF experimental site, where replicated field trials allowed for documenting effects of management practices on production
AGENDA:
• Understanding the triploid process and developing Florida-specific tetraploid oyster broodstock
Huiping Yang, University of Florida/IFAS Fisheries Program
• Production performance of diploid and triploid oysters and effects
of farm locations, gear types, seasonal harvests: Growers’ Trials
Leslie Sturmer, University of Florida/IFAS Extension
• Comparison of stocking densities, float designs, and antifouling coatings on production: Results of UF Field Trials
• Consumer evaluation of sensory characteristics
Carter Cyr, University of Florida/IFAS Extension
• Health assessment—prevalence of Dermo, pests, and parasites
Nick Brandimarte, FAU Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute
• Economic assessment of environmental and market risks
Rusty Dame, University of Florida / IFAS FRED
