Hatchery Setup
Algae production
Purpose: To test effect of algae or diatom enrichment on RKC larval survival and growth to glaucothoe stage. Diet Treatments: Isochrysis galbana Tahitian strian (T-ISO) Pavlova lutheri (PAV) Thalassiosira pseudonana (3H) No enrichment, Artemia sp. only (Art.)
P. camtschaticus ZI
Purpose: To test effects of live algae vs. algae concentrate as dietary enrichment and effect of handling stress on BKC larval survival and growth to the glaucothoe stage. Treatments: Diet: Live T-ISO Concentrate T-ISO Handling: Once per zoeal stage No handling

The goal of this three year grant would be the development of production and operation techniques (hatchery and nursery) with a positive benefits/cost for producing juvenile king crab for release into the wild from facilities at Old Harbor
1)
Investigate and develop king crab hatchery/nursery techniques at the Alutiiq Pride Shellfish Hatchery in Seward for producing king crab juveniles with a 1 inch carapace length. This would include a preliminary marking program for identifying hatchery released crab recovered in the wild. Training for Old Harbor residents. This would include training for up to six residents in juvenile king crab hatchery and nursery production techniques to a level that would allow them to operate a hatchery/nursery system in Old Harbor under general supervision, and training for up to three residents in supervision and management duties and responsibilities. This would include training for at least one resident to become a certified diver who would assist in various evaluation work associated with the project such as habitat surveys, identifying potential release sites and monitoring the progress of released crab.
2)
3) Identify potential sites for a juvenile king crab production facility in Old Harbor and produce design criteria for constructing and equipping a hatchery/nursery system in Old Harbor with low capital and operating costs.
1)
Conduct a benefit/cost analysis for hatchery/nursery production of juvenile king crab at Old Harbor.
