Italy is the largest clam producer in Europe and second largest in the world, mainly Ruditapes phillipinarum.
The Oceano Fresco team visited several clam farmers, depuration plants and public institutions linked to clam farming in south of the Venice lagoon region (Mestre, Scardovari and Chioggia regions).
Several meetings with biologists working in shellfish research, farming and trading were also held.
