The Scallop Bay Shellfish Co hatchery

Scallop Bay Shellfish Co

We produce high quality bay scallop, eastern oyster, and hard clam seed at our facility in Pocasset, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. The hatchery was completed in March 2023, and seed of all three species was first produced that spring.

We are dedicated to quality output and constant innovation. Our facility contains the equipment to filter all incoming water to 1 micron, followed by UV filtration for optimal biosecurity. With systems for all stages of broodstock, larval, setting, and postset shellfish, seed production is consistent and biosecure. In addition to production capacity, we have the ability to run full recirculation to increase shellfish production, perform research to improve methods, and partner with research institutions.

Our state of the art, fully automated microalgae production system produces up to 1,500 liters of 7 different species of microalgae to feed our shellfish every day.
