Oyster mass production operates like a streamlined biological assembly line, starting in hatcheries where carefully selected broodstock spawn millions of larvae in controlled tanks. These larvae are fed microalgae until they develop shells and attach to substrates like crushed shells or ropes, then transferred to open-water farms using floating cages, racks, or longlines to maximize growth and minimize predators. Farmers monitor water conditions closely, optimizing salinity and temperature for rapid development. Once matured, oysters are harvested efficiently, with scanners used to assess size, quality, and market readiness before processing. This system blends natural growth cycles with precision farming to ensure high yields and sustainability at scale.
This is The Smart Farm! A heavenly space featuring harvesting innovation and production line insights.
