Refined raft and longline culture method
SEAFDEC, UPV, and Samar State University (SSU), in collaboration with DOST-PCAARRD, improves local production and produce safe and quality oyster harvest. With the refined raft and longline culture method, the oyster farmer can now produce harvestable weights of 75-90 grams within seven months compared to the traditional method (8-10 months).
Pouch and tray methods
Tray Pouch The Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Center (SEAFDEC), University of the Philippines Visayas (UPV), and SSU in collaboration with DOST-PCAARRD, improves local production and ensures safe and quality oyster harvest. The pouch and tray methods produce uniform weight, quality meat, and meat yield of 27–29% higher than that of the traditional method that produces …
Site Characterization and Implementation of Innovative Sustainable Oyster Systems
The SCI2SOS project funded under the CRADLE Program of DOST aims to establish oyster mariculture areas through sustainable means and by using science-based decision making in the monitoring of such oyster mariculture. The project was originally proposed as an alternative livelihood to fisherfolk, especially during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, in order to provide …

Establishment of Sanitary Quality of Oysters and Their Culture Condition
Ideal growing areas for oysters were identified, where relaying sites were established, which could be able to reduce E. coli counts from 24,000 MPN/ 100 g to ≤ 20 MPN/ 100 g after 2 weeks of relaying, making the raw oyster safe for human consumption. Comprehensive data on the sanitary quality of the oyster growing …

Genetic structure of slipper shaped oyster
Studies on genetic structure of populations and its morphological association are important to advance oyster farming. This study was focused to look at the genetic structure of Crassostrea iredalei populations in the Philippines using microsatellite markers through optimization of the identified five loci. This project was conducted in 5 Provinces, Iloilo, Aklan, Capiz, Negros Occidental …
Hatchery Production of Single Spats Slipper-shaped Oyster
The manual “Hatchery Production of Single Spats Slipper-shaped Oyster Crassostrea iredalei” is one of the major outputs of the National Oyster R&D Program under the projects, “Broodstock Management and Conditioning for the Oyster, Crassostrea iredalei to Maximize Production” and “Refinement of the Larval, Post Larval, and Nursery Rearing Techniques for Crassostrea iredalei,” funded by the …
