North Carolina Oyster Farm Aims at Eastern Markets
Beaufort project by the state conservation department, with U S Fish and Wildlife Service support, cultivates seed oysters on river bottom to prove faster growth than northern waters. Dr Prytherch says marketable oysters can form in 1–3 years here vs 4–6 elsewhere, with 200000 barren acres suitable for propagation and nearby expert help for oystermen as leases. The farm is the first unit of a planned expansion after the war to restore depleted beds and boost cultivation facilities.
