Defending Bivalve Farms From Fish Predation | Ep. 75

In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we examine how fish predation affects bivalve production and why suspended farming systems attract predators. Learn how production stages influence crop losses, compare physical and behavioral mitigation strategies, and explore why larger nursery-grown juveniles can improve survival while reducing operational challenges. Listen now on all major platforms. Inspired by the 2025 article titled "Fish Predation in Bivalve Aquaculture: Impacts and Potential Mitigation Strategies" by Stobart, R. L. et al.
