From Naked Clams to Fish Fitness, Land-Based Aquaculture is Thinking Outside the Tank

Shipworms (Teredinids) are bivalves that live in and feed on wood, turning it into protein and essential nutrients. Historically, they were viewed as marine pests because they bore through any wood left in seawater, such as ships, piers and docks. Now, however, they have been renamed “naked clams” by the research team and could have a role as an eco-friendly superfood.
