YC16 TAS Broodstock
Allocation information
76 YC16 families were produced at IMAS Taroona from 22/11/2016 - 13/12/2016 using YC13 and YC14 broodstock. They were first deployed to the field in mid-November 2016 for POMS exposure trials at Pitt Water and Pipe Clay Lagoon. Performance data (meat condition, shape, and growth) was collected in August 2018 at Little Swanport. A total of 61,221 oysters were measured.
EBV + Inbreeding Values
The top ten POMS resistant families were made available for commercial allocations in May 2018.
It is important to note that the EBV reflect POMS mortality only and are not intended to show losses due to other causes. Therefore, other potential losses must be factored in (added) to give an overall expectation of survival.
The button below takes you to a separate CSIRO website which allows hatcheries to calculate inbreeding/EBV values. For further questions, please refer to FAQ's page or contact the General Manager, Matt.

YC16 SA Broodstock
Allocation information
19 YC16 families were produced at SARDI on 19/02/2017 using YC13 and YC14 broodstock. They were first deployed to the field in early May 2017 for SA survival trials at Coffin Bay and Cowell. Performance data (meat condition, shape, and growth) was collected in August 2018 at Smoky Bay. However, due to low number of animals, the data was insufficient and therefore no heritability information is available on the performance traits. A total of 16,443 oysters were measured.
EBV + Inbreeding Values
The top ten POMS resistant families were made available for commercial allocations in August-September 2018.
It is important to note that the EBV reflect POMS and SA mortality only and are not intended to show losses due to other causes. Therefore, other potential losses must be factored in (added) to give an overall expectation of survival.
