SOCo can now confirm the success of the April 2011 Hatchery Run currently in the care of NSW I&I. This seed should be available to nurseries in early to mid June.

Dr Wayne O'Connor and his team have also committed to another commercial run following this one and using QX resistant selected stock.

This is great news for farmers, particularly in estuaries where POMS has challenged the Pacific Oyster production.
