Water Temperature: 2o – 20o
Tides: 6 – 8 feet high; currents come from Labrador Sea and the Arctic
Growth Time: 4 – 5 years
Newfoundland Premium Brand Oysters are Ocean Wise Recommended because of the sustainable farming practices employed to cultivate and harvest these species. Floating rafts for oysters make no contact with the seafloor, and thus the shellfish are harvested with little to no bycatch or environmental damage. As filter feeders, oysters do not require any external feed (they extract nutrition from plankton in the seawater), which means no pressure is put on wild fish stocks for feed. Farming shellfish even offers ecosystem benefits by reducing the nutrient load in the water.
Ocean Wise Seafood is a conservation program that makes it easy for consumers to choose sustainable seafood for the long term health of our oceans.
We are committed to the highest quality standards in the aquaculture industry.
