The survey challenges faced by 39 firms in the industry, where only one large firm cooperates while others are preoccupied, less inclined, or non-cooperative. Challenges include Vibrio outbreak, varying mortality and growth rates, non-conventional questioning, and unresolved queries. Small farms in Fishers, Oyster Bay, and Peconics present additional complexities. Can useful information be extrapolated despite the hurdles?

Industry SurveyChallenges: CT: 39 Firms 1 large firm 4 have sent in surveys Expecting 10-15 NY: 1 large firm Not cooperating
Survey Challenges • Industry preoccupied with Vibrio outbreak • Industry less inclined to cooperate than I had hoped • Hopefully we can extrapolate for needed information (NY?) • The nature of the industry is difficult to characterize. Mortality and growth rates variable. • Not conventional “culture” – much “relay”
Study area questions • NY questions… resolved? Sm. farm on Fishers Lrg farm in Oyster Bay Many small farms in Peconics
