Revolutionizing Geoduck Nurseries for Better Survival Rates
We pride ourselves on running our farm with a business mindset, constantly striving for improvements, and embracing cutting-edge technology. Our innovative approach begins in our nurseries, where we ensure the successful growth of baby geoducks purchased from the hatchery until they reach juvenile sizes, ready to be planted in the field. This careful nurturing significantly boosts the survival rate of our geoducks.
Enhancing Benthic Fauna Movement
At our farms, we employ mesh tubes, a game-changing technique that minimizes substrate alteration. Using flow-through mesh-style tubing, we maintain water flow with minimal disruption to localized wave and water action. Moreover, these mesh tubes create corridors for the movement of benthic fauna, further enhancing the ecological balance of our farm.
Sustainable Growth
Our commitment to sustainability doesn't end with innovative nurseries and mesh tubes. We carefully manage our nursery tubes, which only need to protect juvenile geoducks during their first two years of growth. After that period, our farms virtually disappear for 3 to 4 years while the geoducks continue to grow to marketable sizes, ensuring the longevity and abundance of this precious seafood resource.
By embracing advancements and applying technological solutions in geoduck farming, we continue to set new standards for quality and sustainability. At our farm, the future of seafood is in good hands.
