In any given year weather, the tides and other complex factors can conspire to greatly limit the natural reproduction of oysters and clams. Our modern hatchery facility and highly trained staff give us the ability to augment the natural reproduction of shellfish with our own seed. This means that our harvests are more predictable from year to year. And because we choose our brood stock for its health and heartiness, we can provide our customers with shellfish of consistent quality. The Hatchery at Dabob Bay is one more example of our commitment to growing the finest shellfish available anywhere.
