This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project seeks to determine the suitability of Stimpson's Surfclam (Mactromeris polynyma) for aquaculture development in northern New England from biological, technical and commercial perspectives. Presently, there are too many unanswered questions about this surfclam's biology, environmental requirements and marketability to encourage aquaculture development. The objectives of this project are to 1) determine the environmental requirements necessary to optimize growth and survival of M. polynyma in northern New England waters, 2) develop management techniques to efficiently grow this species to market size within 2-3 years, 3) determine the impact of toxic algal blooms on the culture and marketability of this species and 4) conduct a marketing survey and consumer preference study in order to predict market acceptance and demand for this new product in the United States and Japan. The results of this research will provide aquaculturists with the information they need to decide whether or not to commercially cultivate this species. Potentially, a new seafood product could be developed and marketed in the Northeast and Pacific Northwest. Results from this project will also provide fishery managers and public health officials with much needed information about the impacts of toxic blooms on this commercial species.

这一小型企业创新研究第一阶段项目旨在从生物学、技术和商业角度确定Stimpson的Surfclam(Mactromeris Polynyma)是否适合新英格兰北部的水产养殖发展。目前，关于这种贝类的生物学、环境要求和适销性方面存在太多悬而未决的问题，无法鼓励水产养殖业的发展。该项目的目标是：1)确定在新英格兰北部水域优化多节线虫生长和生存所需的环境要求；2)开发管理技术，以便在2-3年内有效地将该物种培育成市场规模；3)确定有毒藻华对该物种的养殖和适销性的影响；4)进行市场调查和消费者偏好研究，以预测美国和日本市场对该新产品的接受和需求。这项研究的结果将为水产养殖者提供他们需要的信息，以决定是否对该物种进行商业养殖。潜在地，一种新的海鲜产品可以在东北和太平洋西北部开发和销售。该项目的结果还将为渔业管理人员和公共卫生官员提供关于有毒水华对这种商业物种的影响的急需信息。
