SUMMARY:Shellfish growers on the U.S. West Coast depend largely on hatchery-produced seed thatare amenable for genetic improvement. Within-species hybrids produced by crossing inbredlines generated from selected wild-type families can substantially improve growth and survivalfor farmed Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas). The Pacific oyster has the highest productionamong shellfish species and can ...

GeospatialYakima Chief Hops (YCH) is a hop processing company with facilities in Yakima andSunnyside WA. The hop extract process requires a steady input of food-grade COwhich has2 seen inconsistent supply over the last few years. This project will study the feasibility ofconstructing an anaerobic digester to create food-grade CO (here called bioCO ) and renewable2 2 natural gas (RNG) using post-ha ...
