Abstract

Oyster farming remains a vital industry, catering to the culinary preferences of millions while also championing responsible aquaculture practices and environmental conservation. As we forge ahead in our quest for sustainable seafood production, oyster farming serves as a remarkable example of how human innovation can coexist harmoniously with nature, ensuring a legacy for these exquisite molluscs for generations to come. Currently, the time required for freshly produced spat to mature into marketable-sized oysters stands at three to four years in the subtropical countries that dominate the industry. India, with its tropical climate, faster growth rates, abundant suitable areas for oyster farming, and cost-effective labour, has a promising opportunity to enter the oyster export market.
