Taylor Shellfish Farms, Inc., headquartered in Washington State, is one of the largest U.S. clam and oyster producers and maintains a nursery and hatchery at NELHA where juvenile mollusks take a “winterless Hawaiian grow-out vacation” during critical early growth periods.  Hundreds of millions of juvenile Manila clams and juvenile Pacific oysters are exported back to Washington each year for final grow-out in company-owned intertidal areas or sold as seed stock for other growers.
