The centerpiece of many culinary gurus’ ‘stunning’ dishes, a shellfish’s journey often begins on a farm. Found on the coastal shores or in freshwater lakes, you’ll discover suspended shellfish aquaculture systems. Fixed on ropes, plastic trays or in mesh bags, these shelled, aquatic invertebrates are raised in a controlled environment – protected from hungry predators.
Farmed shellfish, such as clams, mussels, oysters and scallops, generally feed off plankton and if managed properly, their environmental impact is quite low. Since shellfish are filter feeders, they are known to improve the quality of water in their ecosystem.

Safeguarding the enclosures is of the utmost importance; monitoring the nets for breaches and fouling organisms or inspecting the health and growth of the shellfish lines and cages must be done on a regular basis. The use of underwater drones, such as the Deep Trekker DTG2, improve the farmer’s effectiveness in monitoring their livestock.
