Jean André and Martin Mallet know their stuff when it comes to all kinds of things from the sea... not just oysters.

Jean André and Martin Mallet know their stuff when it comes to all kinds of things from the sea… not just oysters.

This week we join Marine Biologist Martin Mallet at L’Étang Ruisseau, Shippagan, New Brunswick and learn a thing or two about the application of genetics in modern oyster farming.

The Mallet family’s operation is at the bleeding edge of contemporary oyster aquaculture, and so, being the science geeks that we are, we were honoured to spend some time with Martin and hear about all of their work in oyster genetics that go into making their “La St. Simon” and “La Mallet” oysters so very special.
