How Oysters Grown in Hatcheries: Nova Harvest Aquaculture Tour

Ever wondered where the delicious oysters from British Columbia get their start? We're taking you on an exclusive tour inside Nova Harvest, a leading shellfish hatchery and farm on the West Coast of Vancouver Island! In this video, we explore the incredible, vertically integrated process that produces oyster and clam seed for farms throughout the region. From the initial stages of biosecure microalgae cultivation to the final days on the farm, you'll see every step that brings these BC delicacies to life. Witness how Nova Harvest leverages cutting-edge technology, including Industrial Plankton Photobioreactors (PBRs), to achieve: 🌱 Top-tier Algal Production: Discover how their PBRs provide a nutritious and diverse microalgae diet for their shellfish, all while being 70 times more efficient than traditional methods. 🦪 Careful Larval Rearing: See how oyster larvae are carefully nurtured in conical tanks with filtered seawater until they are ready to settle as "spat." ⚕️ Innovative Nursery Systems: Learn about the on-land silo and bottle upwellers, and the offshore FLUPSY systems that help juvenile oysters grow and become robust before their final placement in the ocean. So, next time you have an oyster from BC, you'll know it most likely started its life right here.
