Flat oyster cultivation in galicia

Flat oyster cultivation in galicia

Abstract

[FR] Malgré de nombreuses tentatives scientifiques ou industrielles entreprises en Espagne, et malgré les conditions favorables offertes par les baies de la côte de Galice, on n'a pas encore réussi à y implanter une véritable ostréiculture industrielle, contrairement au succès de la mytiliculture. Les gisements natureles de l'huître plate (Ostrea edulis L.) furent épuisés il y a plusieurs années, sauf quelques vestiges sur la côte de Galice, et l'ostréiculture galicienne est maintenant limitée à la conservation, de mars à novembre, d'huîtres importées surtout de Bretagne, âgées de 2 à 3 ans, que l'on fixe à des cordes suspendues verticalement à des pontons afin d'assurer leur croissance et leur engraissement. De la sorte, les huîtres échappent en général à l'élévation de la température, qui provoquerait leur ponte, et par ailleurs la fixation du naissain est défectueuse en raison de l'absence de collecteurs naturels ou artificiels. Des expériences d'ostréiculture sont actuellement poursuivies soit à l'aide des méthodes traditionnelles utilisant des collecteurs de tuiles, soit avec du naissain artificiel. Dans les conditions de culture traditionnelles, la mortalité des huîtres adultes est élevée et le rendement parfois médiocre, en raison de la salinité réduite durant l'hiver, du manque d'oxygène en été, et du substrat défectueux; les huîtres qui survivent présentent une croissance et un engraissement extrêmement satisfaisants. Des expériences sont en cours avec des naissains élevés soit en bassins clos, soit sur des espaces naturels semi-confinés, et sur l'alimentation des huîtres à l'aide de cultures de phytoplancton ou de produits amylacés

[EN] 1. Spanish industrial firms and scientific institutions are interested in cultivating the oyster, Ostrea edulis L., for commercial and scientific purposes. Even though bays in Galicia (Northwest Spain) appear to be well suited for oyster cultivation, success has been rather limited thus far. 2. The local natural beds ofOstrea edulis are largely exhausted for several years. The Galician oyster cultivation is, therefore, at present limited to the import of middle sized oysters (mainly from Brittany) and their fattening during the favourable season, i.e. March to November, in suitable natural habitats. 3. Sufficient rates of reproduction of the fattened oysters are difficult to attain because (a) the oysters are attached to vertically arranged ropes and hence not stimulated to spawn simultaneously (large vertical gradient at critical temperature which stimulates spawning), (b) settling oyster larvae are not sufficiently attracted due to the absence of suitable natural and artificial substrates. 4. Experiments are presently being carried out employing traditional larvae collectors (tiles) and laboratory-raised oyster spat fed on phytoplankton cultures and amylaceous products. 5. Low salinities in winter, lack of oxygen in summer and adverse qualities of the natural substratum increase the mortality. Under present circumstances, fattening of middle-sized oysters appears to be still the most satisfactory method with regard to commercial view points
