Default Question on Oysters

http://www.somd.com/news/headlines/2010/11865.shtml

Read this article on Southern Maryland news (www.somd.com) and found it interesting. I got a question for someone who may know about Oysters:

In the article, it states that the $20k will buy 2 million Oyster spats. To me, it seems like a good investment as longs as they are protected from harvesting for a long duration of time. However, in the overall "big bucket", how much is 2 million? If they can successfully spawn and be protected, what are some good estimates on what this population will be in 2 yrs, 5 yrs?

Thanks.

Keith
