A double dose of bivalves

A double dose of bivalves

This week’s newsletter is being penned while at the Association of Scottish Shellfish Growers’ annual conference, which is offering fascinating perspectives on all things bivalve from across the globe, not to mention an opportunity to sample some of the country's best seafood. By happy coincidence, it’s also a week that’s seen the official launch of the Alaska Oysters Insights website, which The Fish Site played a key part in compiling. It's well worth a look for anyone interested in the challenges and opportunities related to growing oysters and/or seaweed in some of the most logistically challenging locations in world aquaculture.— Rob Fletcher, Senior editor
