Growing of marine animals (especially oysters and clams) on a commercial

 Northport, N.Y. , 31 Oct. 71: 186-192. 



The selective breeding program of Long Island Oyster Farms Inc. with 

 specially developed hatchery techniques and incubation in the warm water 

 lagoon of the power plant has increased survival rate of oysters a million- 

 fold and cut maturing time in half. Clams also are adaptable to this nursery 

 life. Benefits of controlled cultivation are: 1) uniformity of quality; 2) 

 marketing at prime condition; 3) reduction of varying conditions by 

 cooperation between power company and shellfish grower. (Abstracter's note:

Commercial molluscan hatcheries and their problems. In Progress in Fishery 

 and Food Science. Remedios W. Moore (ed.) , Univ. Washington Pub. Fish., New 

 Ser. 5, Seattle: 187-189. 



Problems are discussed by a practical shellfish farmer. The paper deals 

 principally with oysters, but hard clam is mentioned in passing. The author 

 believed that the Vanderborgh-Radel Hatchery, operated in conjunction with 

 the power plant at Northport, Long Island, N.Y. , and using heated water 

 effluents, was the first and only hatchery to produce a market crop of 

 shellfish year-round, and make a profit. He recommends that research done 

 in the past be examined to determine why more progress has not been made.

Microbial flora and distribution of vibrio parahaemolytieus in molluscan 

 shellfish, water, and sediment. Abstr. Annu. Meet. Am. Soc. Microbiol. 

 73(E9): 2. 



Meroenaria meroenaria and other bivalves, and water and sediment samples, 

 from Galveston Bay, Tex. were examined. Bacterial counts of shellfishes 

 ranged from 2.3x104 to l.lxlO^/g. Counts in sediment samples were from less 

 than 10 2 to 2.5xl0 5 /g, and in water samples usually less than 10 2 /ml. Plates 

 were incubated at 25°C for 48 hrs. In freshly harvested mollusks Moraxella, 

 Aeromonas , Vibrio, Pseudomonas , Aoinetobacter, Achromobacter, and Flavobaoterium 

 predominated. At retail level Aeromonas, Moraxella, and Vibrio predominated.
