Resumen
Descripción
The report gives an account of a survey in the Seychelles to determine the feasibility of large scale oyster culture and gives recommendations for an experimental pilot project based on the results of the findings. It is designed to determine the most efficient methods and techniques for rearing oysters under local conditions in amounts sufficient to meet the anticipated demands. Among the recommendations based on the survey are (1) to apply the most recent techniques and methods for production on a large scale of oyster culture on a commercial basis in several areas in Mahé, following certain basic conditions (2) that an oyster culture pilot project be established at Anse à la Mouche to determine the best and most efficient methods for producing oysters in amounts sufficient to meet future anticipated market demands (3) that a qualified shellfish expert be engaged to direct and supervise the project in collaboration with a government fisheries officer, four semi-skilled labourers and one fisherman/boatman. Two methods are given for obtaining young seed oysters with a suggested plan of operation and a proposed time schedule.
