Abstract

Fishery products are an important part of the diet in many countries of the world, where demand increases proportionally with population growth. The greater request of seafood products refers to fish, however, the production and harvest of molluscs, especially bivalves, will also play a key role in satisfying this growing market. To meet this demand, it is necessary to have an available number of organisms, which may be the product of either fishing or aquaculture. Nevertheless, there are not enough studies about the biological and ecological characteristics of these resources that guarantee maintainable production. This makes it difficult to carry out sustainable and adequate exploitation of the natural wealth. Alternatives involve either the repopulation of natural banks or the seed production, which can be used in aquaculture farming’s for the production of bivalves until their commercial size. In either case, it is necessary to continue researching in the biology of the bivalves and innovating working methods to produce mollusc seeds and meet the demands of the emergent market.
