The bivalve mollusc aquaculture sector, operating in an open and dynamic environment like the marine and/or oceanic environment, is exposed to a series of environmental, biological, and climatic threats that severely test the resilience of businesses.

Other significant issues facing the sector include disease, predators, and alien species, which in recent years have had an incalculable impact on all types of farmed bivalves.
