- The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $796,133 Project Grant under the Fisheries Disaster Relief program (CFDA 11.477) to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) for a collaborative research project to optimize restorative breeding and develop genetically superior scallop stocks to facilitate the recovery of bay scallop populations in the Peconic Estuary. The research project, to be conducted by Stony Brook University and Cornell...
- This $449,750 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) supports research on the impacts of climate warming on the Atlantic bay scallop, a commercially and culturally important coastal species. The key research activities include: Analyzing 75 years of fisheries data and temperature records to assess how warming temperatures have contributed to the 90% decline of bay scallops across the U.S. Atlantic coast over recent decades....
- This federal Project Grant award from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program (CFDA 11.427) seeks to develop a viable business model for culturing Atlantic sea scallops offshore in the Gulf of Maine. The $497,723 grant, awarded on February 1, 2025, will fund research to determine optimal locations, densities, and gear types for bottom scallop culture; develop an...
- This $306,292 federal Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants (CFDA 10.200) program supports research to develop disease-resistant Eastern oyster stocks for the U.S. East Coast aquaculture industry. The Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) will conduct this two-year project to measure the heritability of resistance to the pathogens Dermo and...
- This $899,961 Project Grant awarded by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (CFDA 11.427 Fisheries Development and Utilization Research and Development Grants and Cooperative Agreements Program) will support a research project at Stony Brook University to address knowledge gaps related to factors that can impact disease development and mortality in a major local fishery in the Northeast region. The project aims to provide information on the distribution of the parasite, as well as...
- This federal Project Grant award of $933,019 was provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants program (CFDA 10.200). The grant supports applied research and development initiatives in critical agricultural sectors, with a primary focus on aquaculture, to generate science-based information and innovations that address industry constraints, enhance sustainable production, and...
- This $225,000 Project Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) program supports research to develop preventative disease management strategies for the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica). The project aims to prime the oyster immune system prior to disease emergence, quantifying the impact on infection levels and survival rates. This novel approach seeks to alleviate the...
- This Cooperative Agreement award, provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) under the Sea Grant Support program (CFDA 11.417), supports research to evaluate the impacts of changing ocean conditions driven by climate change and ocean acidification on the Atlantic sea scallop fishery. The $124,931 award to the University of Connecticut will integrate existing data and modeling tools, including annual stock assessment surveys, physiological lab data, oceanographic...
- The U.S. Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) awarded a $1.3M Project Grant under the Congressionally Identified Awards and Projects program (CFDA 11.469) to the University of Rhode Island (URI) Research Office Division to increase the resilience of the seafood industry to climate change and improve U.S. food security. The interdisciplinary team of URI scientists will work with the seafood industry and other institutions to accelerate selective breeding...
- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) awarded a $307,468 Project Grant under the Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants program (CFDA 10.200) to Southeastern Seaproducts Inc., a marine aquaculture research and development company based in Melbourne, Florida. The award period runs from Sep 1, 2025 to Aug 31, 2027. The grant supports research to evaluate the economic viability and consumer acceptance of hybrid clams, which are a...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) under the Grants for Agricultural Research, Special Research Grants program (CFDA 10.200), aims to identify disease-resistant bay scallops that can be used for aquaculture and stock enhancement efforts in the Northeast region of the United States. The $307,468 award, granted to the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (Stony Brook University), will support genetic analyses to characterize disease-resistant scallop stocks and maintain these stocks to strengthen the regional aquaculture industry. The project will address the impact of an infectious disease causing mortality in adult bay scallop populations in New York, and the presence of the causative parasite in Martha's Vineyard. The expected outcomes of this 2-year project will optimize aquaculture efforts and support the recovery of bay scallop populations in the Northeast, aligning with Executive Order 14276 to enhance seafood production and competitiveness in the United States.
