In 2020, Mexico's oyster and smaller vessel aquaculture yielded 15,278 tons, with oyster farming accounting for 5,442 tons and smaller vessels for 9,836 tons. As of mid-2021, oyster production surpassed 11,000 tons. Conapesca emphasizes the importance of temporary closures for sustainability, which vary by zone and are based on biodiversity analysis by Inapesca and local fishermen. These closures aim to ensure the sustainability of oyster populations and are implemented at different times throughout the year for different zones.
