Lots of Brains…and More Mussels

Participant: Hal Montgomery, Acadia University, Nova Scotia
Business name: Hal’s Mussel Hatchery
Concept: using innovative biotechnology to reliably produce triploids, which have three sets of chromosomes and the advantages in growth and meat quality that are often conferred by their sterility. As a result shellfish farmers will be able to sell mussels when they would not normally be in stock while speeding inventory turnover to take pressure off working capital investments.
