Chapters covered include mussels, clams, oysters, scallops, abalone, pearl oysters and gastropods. Others focus on site selection, water quality management, hatchery construction and techniques, algal culture, biotechnical applications, disease, biofouling, best management practices, certification programs, marketing and business plans. Reference lists for further reading also are included. Molluscan Shellfish Aquaculture: A Practical Guide is a landmark resource for those working in the aquaculture industry, including hatchery and farm operatives and managers, inspectors, and consultants, and will serve the shellfish aquaculture industry for years to come. Personnel within companies supplying the shellfish industry with technical equipment and those working in the global seafood trade will find a wealth of useful information.
