Yes, in terms of the seed or spat for the mussel and oyster industry....
For those who are unfamiliar, juveniles are collected from the open water for shellfish aquaculture. There are hatcheries, but they're certainly a very small proportion of the seed that is collected. Those collectors are out in the open water. It happens on an annual basis. There is a season where the seed is running, and then it's collected and grown on the collectors. It's harvested and then put into either socks or cages for the following years.
The seed that was lost because of the storm is gone. The seed that would have been growing in socks and bags through next year and in the following year is not there. It's not going to be grown. In the case of the oyster side of things, it's going to be two to three years further down the line.
