Shellfish Farming Techniques
Shellfish Farming Techniques
Shellfish farming techniques involve methods used to cultivate species such as oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops in controlled aquatic environments. These species are filter feeders, making them an environmentally friendly option as they improve water quality. Popular farming techniques include bottom planting, suspended culture, and tray systems, depending on the species and location. Shellfish farming offers numerous benefits, including creating jobs, enhancing biodiversity, and providing sustainable seafood. However, challenges such as disease outbreaks, environmental changes, and overfishing pressures need to be managed effectively to maintain healthy populations and promote the long-term sustainability of shellfish farming.
