Bivalve Market

Bivalves represent a taxonomic class within the phylum Mollusca, distinguished by their possession of bivalved shells that are often hinged and exhibit bilateral symmetry. The organisms in question are aquatic invertebrates belonging to the phylum Mollusca, characterized by their filter-feeding behaviour and possessing soft anatomical structures. 

Clams, oysters, cockles, mussels, scallops, and many other marine and freshwater families are all included in this class. Most of them rely on filtered food only. Bivalves are characterized by their bilateral symmetry, laterally compressed bodies, flattened feet in the shape of a blade, small or absent heads, and lack of a radula. 

The market for bivalves is expanding for many reasons. There has been a rise in the number of people looking for bivalves to satisfy their nutritional needs. More and more people are turning to aquaculture to get their bivalves. Developing economies have a growing appetite for bivalves. Invention of cutting-edge uses for and creations involving bivalves. Omega-3 fatty acids, vital for human health and favourable to cardiovascular health, are abundant in bivalves. Over the projected period, the bivalve market's revenue will rise substantially as market players develop and release new products.

However, low demand in many countries, coastal contamination leading to poor water quality, and expanding limits from ocean acidification are only some challenges that mollusk farming must overcome. Despite efforts to expand mussel farming into the open sea, the industry still has high production costs, little output, and mostly serves niche luxury markets. In addition, the lockdown led to a surge in demand for non-food items, including soap, paper towels, and hand sanitiser.

The demand for bivalvia was high before the spread of COVID-19. Farmers of bivalves kept their stock afloat throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, hoping for a favourable trading climate. Due to a shortage of workers, mass production shutdowns, and supply chain disruptions, many manufacturers halted operations, leading to a corresponding increase in demand for food products such as fish, meat, and many others.
