Aquaculture Reports, 2022 Fiji’s cultured pearl sector relies on wild collected oysters (Pinctada margaritifera) for culture stock. Most oysters are collected by community-based spat collection enterprises but there is little information on the optimal duration of spat collector ...

The plate collector, a new option for Pinctada margaritifera spat collection in French Polynesia [PDF]
Aquaculture Reports, 2022 The aquaculture industry can constitute an important source of waste in the environment. In atoll lagoons of French Polynesia, among the materials used by pearl farmers, shade-mesh collectors can release toxic substances and are responsible of ...

Aquaculture Reports, 2018 Cultured pearl farming in Fiji relies on wild spat collection to supply the oysters used for pearl production. This supply can be inconsistent and a research program was implemented to determine recruitment of pearl oysters to spat collectors at sites ...

Strategies for Successful Scallops Spat Collection on Artificial Collectors in the Taranto Gulf (Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]
Water (Switzerland), 2021 The high variability in natural recruitment of Pectinidae is a common feature of many marine invertebrates with a pelagic larval stage, but may negatively affect aquaculture activities. Detailed information on settlement patterns and spat availability is required to reduce costs and labor. In this regard, we attempted to establish the precise immersion

Aquaculture, Fish and FisheriesMussel aquaculture depends on a consistent spat supply, often sourced from spat‐collection ropes suspended in coastal waters. However, settlement on these ropes can be highly variable due to environmental factors.

Boosting efficiency of mussel spat collection for ecological sustainability: Identifying critical drivers and informing management [PDF]
Journal of Applied EcologyAbstract The long‐term sustainability of natural and bottom‐cultured mussel beds relies on the availability of spat (i.e. juvenile mussels). Traditional spat collection methods, which disrupt the donor population and its habitat, have prompted the adoption of suspended mussel spat collectors (SMCs) as an ecologically sustainable alternative. However,

Experimental spat collection of the pearl and rocky shore oysters on ceramic tile substrates
Aquaculture ReportsTemporal and spatial variation in oyster larvae settlement is a crucial factor determining the abundance and success of adult populations in their natural environment. The overall understanding of oyster recruitment provides information on site selection
