Shellfish Aquaculture and the Environment

Shellfish aquaculture plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy marine environment. By filtering water, shellfish such as oysters and mussels improve water quality and mitigate the impacts of excess nutrients and pollutants. Additionally, shellfish farming provides habitat for other marine species, contributes to shoreline protection, and supports local economies through sustainable seafood production. This book examines the impact of shellfish farming on the environment and explores sustainable practices in the industry
