On the Growing Edge of Shellfish Culture
Our Mission
Oyster Seed Holdings, Inc. strives to be a premier supplier of high quality oyster seed serving the entire shellfish aquaculture industry.
We have taken a deliberately independent approach with no grow-out operations and remain dedicated to providing customers with healthy, disease-resistant larvae and seed. Our team is constantly working to innovate commercial production, ensuring that we remain at the cutting edge of shellfish culture.
Company Pillars
There are three principal pillars to OSH meant to magnify our impact on the industry:
OSH has been providing premium quality and variety of oyster larvae and seed for the past 15 years. From broodstock variations, to disease resistant strains, and triploid stock, we're here to help you find the best match for growing conditions and farms located across the mid-Atlantic.
Research & Dvmt.
TECHNOLOGY
We conduct internal investigations to improve and innovate commercial production. Our R&D Department strives to increase and stabilize seed supply, both for our customers, and in regions we cannot currently serve. OSH aims to advance the industry from research to practice.
In addition to our hatchery production, we strive to build community around, and promote the environmental
sustainability of, shellfish culture through consumer experiences. Our team provides hatchery tours, participates in community events and school activities, and now operates a waterfront food truck-style oyster eatery called, "The Hatchery."
