Many companies are now using innovative aquaculture techniques to effectively and sustainably farm clams, cockles, and ark shells, as these techniques include recirculating aquaculture systems, which can help reduce waste and improve water quality. There is also significant traction for using high-pressure processing to extend the shellfish shelf life and innovative shucking machines to make the process faster and more efficient globally.
