Bivalves can be both wild-harvested and actively farmed offshore and in coastal areas, with a fraction of the environmental impact of more traditional animal proteins. “We know that meat and...

Feb 19, 2025 · With strategic planning, the 1.82-fold increase in finfish and 2.36-fold increase in bivalve production needed to meet expected global mariculture demand in 2050 could be achieved with up to a...

Jan 10, 2024 · Bivalves such as oysters and clams have been farmed in intertidal zones across the Puget Sound region of the Salish Sea for thousands of years.

Bivalve farmers face a number of issues in bringing their clams, oysters, mussels and scallops to market. With ASC certification, bivalve farmers evidence their contributions to responsible labour practices, disease management, and ecosystem conservation. ASC sets the standards for environmentally and socially responsible bivalve farming.

Feb 1, 2022 · Here, we quantify and monetise the impacts of bivalve and seaweed farming on a regulating service (removal of nitrogen from nearshore waters) and a supporting service (habitat provision for species with fisheries value).

Jan 10, 2021 · In this review, we analyse the effect of bivalve consume habits, particularly mussel, on the availability of shells and their possible agricultural, industrial, and environmental engineering applications from these multiple perspectives.

Apr 2, 2020 · Mimicking farm conditions, the study examined the filtration rate, growth and survival of four economically and ecologically important bivalve species native to the northeastern United States. They are the Eastern oyster ( Crassostrea virginica ); Atlantic surfclam ( Spisula solidissima ); hard clam ( Mercenaria mercenaria ); and softshell clam ...
