Rutgers University said on October 14 that it had granted Atlantic Aqua Farms an exclusive license to distribute disease-resistant oyster broodstock developed in New Jersey to Canadian hatcheries and growers. The university’s research office said the move is intended to widen access to the lines for Canadian producers facing disease-related losses.

Atlantic Aqua Farms reported orders for more than 50 million seed and said it had adapted its facilities to produce and export more than 100 million seed to Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick; these are company-reported demand and capacity plans.
