Oyster farms are specialized aquatic farms where oysters are cultivated for food and other products. These farms are typically located in coastal areas, where the water is clean and nutrient-rich, providing an ideal environment for oyster growth. Farmers use various methods, such as floating cages or bottom planting, to raise the oysters until they reach market size.
The farming process involves monitoring water quality, controlling predators, and ensuring the oysters receive enough food. Oysters play a vital role in the ecosystem by filtering water and providing habitat for other marine life. Sustainable practices in oyster farming can also contribute to environmental health.
