In India, edible oyster (Crassostrea madrasensis)
farming is being practised by several farmers in
central Kerala employing the rack and ren method
in the estuaries and backwaters. However, farmed
oysters do not find ready marketability due to the
high labour costs involved in handling and shucking.
The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute,
Cochin, Kerala, has developed the hatchery
technology for edible oyster spat production, both
cultched and cultchless. Nevertheless, these have
not been commercialised due to the fact that spat
collection from wild is still the most feasible option in
oyster farming. The aim of the present study was to
produce cultchless spat in the farm site itself and
rear it to commercial size for harvesting uniform sized
regular, rounded single oysters.
