The Oyster life
The oyster spat (“oyster babies”) starts the growth in oyster bags in the Carantec foreshore,
where it discovers the tides cycle. 2 cultivation types are carried out: the off-bottom cultivation in oyster bags
and the traditional on-bottom cultivation.
The young oysters are rapidly transferred in deep water of the Carantec Bay, for on-bottom
cultivation according to ancestral tradition. This cultural technic needs a lot of manpower and know-how,
but gives the best product with a typical and perfect shell, reflecting the environment.
The oysters are harvested with dredger boats.
The oyster farmers keep an eye on their production, and take the greatest care of the oysters
during 3 to 4 years before the harvesting for commercialization.
