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.
