This work contain conference proceedings on the reproduction, physiology, feeding, diseases, culture and management of shellfish.

Diversification of production systems has been identified as one of the major strategies for the long-term sustainability of brackishwater aquaculture. On the context of diversification, a 180-day culture experiment was carried out where four farming systems were tested: monoculture of mud crab, ...

This section is comprised of 52 abstracts of papers presented at the 30th Milford Aquaculture Seminar. The topics discussed include shellfish aquaculture, its effects on the environment and ecology, pollution by heavy metals, techniques employed in shellfish culture, management of aquaculture...

The production of most farmed molluscs, including mussels, oysters, scallops, abalone, and clams, is heavily dependent on natural seed from the plankton. Closing the lifecycle of species in hatcheries can secure independence from wild stocks and enables long-term genetic improvement of broodstock...
