EUROSHELL - Shellfish production areas

Shellfish farming areas can have different meanings. Sometimes their identification is prescribed and used for health classification of production areas. In Euroshell project, the choice was made to map the production areas whose identification makes sense for both scientists and professionals. A limited number of areas is then showed, often corresponding to a hydrographic reality. Indeed, the shellfish industry is mainly installed in estuaries, river mouths, bays, fjords, estuaries or lagoons.

This map shows the shellfish production sites, which include several areas. Some information is given on species produced, the number of companies and / or concessions and / or producers, the approximate amount of production.
