At The Oyster Restoration Company, we are proud to produce disease-free native oysters that can be used in farming and restoration projects internationally.
To ensure everyone gets the best results from our products, here are some suggestions for stocking and husbandry.
Oyster Stocking Densities
Stocking densities are specific to the site and the species, so you will need to carry out multiple tests to ensure you have the correct formula for your unique situation. That being said, below are some general densities and rules for the standard 25L basket.
Oyster Size | No. Oysters | Basket Mesh Size (mm) |
6mm | 3,000 | 3 |
10mm | 1,000 | 5 |
20mm | 250 | 10 |
30mm | 200 | 10–15 |
40mm | 180 | 10–20 |
60mm | 120 | 10–20 |
For the 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm mesh baskets, fill the oysters to approximately one-quarter full and grade them once the basket is half full.
