Draft standards for sustainable bivalve farming, created by the 300-plus participants of the Bivalve Aquaculture Dialogue, have been prepared and are available for comment. Final standards are expected by mid-2010. The standards will be for all cultivated bivalves, including clams, oysters, mussels and scallops. Issues addressed in the standards include organic enrichment, ecological carrying capacity and biosecurity. Anybody can provide input by reviewing the standards and completing the comment form, which are both available at www.worldwildlife.org/bivalvedialogue.
