RCTB purchased about 500,000 seed clams from hatcheries. Baby clams, called seed are grown at various locations. The yield is the estimated number of clams received from the hatchery minus the culling of very small clams that are not growing well, mortality and statistical variation in measurements. The typical yield is about 80%, about 400,000.
