Current status and perspectives of mollusc (bivalves and gastropods) culture in Spanish Mediterranean

This is a review of the current status, problems and perspectives of bivalve and gastropod culture in the Spanish Mediterranean. Along this coast, bivalve culture has traditionally been located in the two Ebro Delta bays, and in the harbours of Valencia and Mahón, where the main species is the musse...
