What is Oyster and Shellfish Farming?
Oyster farming is an aquaculture (or mariculture) practice in which oysters are bred and raised mainly for their pearls, shells and for eating. The French oyster industry has relied on aquaculture oysters since the late 18th century.
Shellfish farming is a significant and growing aquaculture in many parts of the work. This low-impact, sustainable industry producing a range of different products for the UK market and abroad. A majority of shellfish production is mainly centred on mussels but also includes oysters and scallops. In shellfish farming, a critical requirement is the need for pristine clean water in which to grow wholesome shellfish.

Water Holding Tanks For Larval Production & Hatchery
Another critical element to an oyster or shellfish hatchery is its location in the water supply. Oyster hatcheries require large volumes of clean seawater with salinities. Plastic tanks are ideal for this strong water for this type of application as they are food-grade, available in many sizes and can be customised to take pipework for the PVC ping in the hatcheries.
