Mollusk Farming

Mollusk farming, also known as aquaculture or mariculture, involves cultivating mollusks such as oysters, mussels, clams, and scallops in controlled aquatic environments. It includes activities like hosting mollusks on nets or beds submerged in water, providing optimal conditions for them to grow. Farmers monitor water quality and feeding, ensuring healthy development. Mollusk farming benefits the environment by filtering water naturally and reduces pressure on wild populations. It supplies seafood sustainably, supporting local economies and nutritious food sources. This practice combines aquaculture techniques with ecosystem management to produce high-quality mollusks efficiently.
