Shellfish cultivation is the practice of farming aquatic animals such as clams, oysters, and mussels. This process involves creating suitable environments for these organisms to grow and reproduce, often in coastal waters or estuaries. Farmers use techniques like seeding, where young shellfish are placed in designated areas, and monitoring water quality to ensure optimal growth conditions. The benefits of shellfish cultivation include providing a sustainable source of seafood, improving water quality, and creating habitats for other marine life. Additionally, it can support local economies by generating jobs and promoting eco-tourism in coastal regions.
