On June 8, we finished up the tank installation and we were happy to welcome the first visitors to our tanks. Frequently asked questions: Where do you purchase the oyster larvae? There are multiple hatcheries around the state including Ferry Cove and Horns Point. How long do the oysters stay in the tank? After introducing the larvae, oysters will stay in the tank approximately two weeks. Where will you move the oysters to? We have a 25 acre lease in the Patuxent River just North of the Governor Thomas Johnson Bridge. |

In 2023 the Patuxent River had a record breaking spatfall for oysters. To aid in the resurgence of oysters, Patuxent River Seafood is planting 25 acres in the Patuxent River. The plan is to jumpstart the area by recovering silted shell, adding shell, and planting oysters. The oysters will serve ecological functions including filtering nitrogen and phosphorus until they are marketable.
