THE TOP CULTURE OYSTER INDUSTRY
PEI is world-famous for its oysters. Our seafood sector has firmly entrenched roots in the global marketplace and the world continues to look to PEI for the best in shellfish. Aquaculture grown seafood is becoming a major contributor to global food production, and this industry provides great economic stability for the province.
The growing interest in top culture oyster farms represents a strong opportunity for development in an already booming industry. The number of cage systems going into PEI top culture oyster farms is expanding at a steady rate, and top culture oyster farming has demonstrated its ability to produce and supply a sustainable amount of product to local oyster processing plants. It is now considered a reliable source of premium oyster product, successfully sharing the marketplace with the traditional wild oyster fishery on PEI.
The culture oyster industry on PEI has prospered from good representation from both the Prince Edward Island Aquaculture Alliance (PEIAA) and the Island Oyster Growers Group (IOGG). We work with both entities to implement work smart processes that benefit both the farms we service and the industry itself.
Oyster Cage Commander Inc. is proud to be at the forefront of this industry, as the sole provider of this multi-layered cage service on PEI (and, to the best of our knowledge, in North America). We see top culture oyster farming as integral to the future success of the oyster industry on the island.
