CONT

At this time, oyster growers place various kinds of material into the water to catch the larvae, in essence providing the young oysters with a home. This process is called “cultching.” The catching materials are referred to as “cultch” and the recently settled oysters are known as “spat.” Old shells from previously harvested oysters are commonly used as cultch.

CONT

Culching: Every commercial fisher shall ensure that (a) the culching of oysters is done at sea and in the area from which the oysters were taken: (b) all undersize oysters are returned to the sea as soon as practicable.

OBS

Le captage de naissains est donc une opération consistant à offrir un support solide (= collecteur) aux larves de coquillages dans le milieu (dans les secteurs et aux époques pertinents) pour qu'elles s’y fixent. Les collecteurs sont ensuite ramenés à terre et les naissains y sont séparés de leurs supports (opération de détroquage).
