Shellfish farming operations raise aquatic invertebrates — such as oysters, clams, mussels, shrimp, or crayfish — in controlled or semi-controlled water environments including ponds, tanks, cages, longlines, or leased tidal/marine areas. Operations typically involve stocking, feeding, water quality management, harvesting, and often some degree of on-site processing or live-haul transport to market.
Questions to investigate
- What species are being raised, and are operations in marine, brackish, or freshwater environments?
- Is the operation land-based (tanks/ponds), offshore/tidal (longlines, cages, leased beds), or a combination?
- Does the insured hold state aquaculture permits or leases for tidal or marine growing areas?
- Are there any on-site processing, live-haul, or direct-to-consumer sales activities?
