The oysters in Taiwan become smaller with higher rates of empty shells likely due to excessive breeding density and possibly related to parasite

In recent years, when cultivating oysters (oysters) along the coast, fishermen have generally encountered the problem that oysters do not grow fat, become smaller and smaller as they grow, and the empty shell rate is too high, resulting in poor harvests. The Fisheries Department of the Ministry of Agriculture held a "Fishery Youth Exchange Forum" today (27th) "Meeting", some Chiayi fishermen responded to this issue. The Fisheries Laboratory said that according to research by Chiayi University associate professor Chen Shumei, oyster farming is unlikely to be related to too high aquaculture density; the poor oyster farming situation in the waters around Taiwan may also be related to parasitic oysters. It is related to the Malta parasite in the ovary. In order to compete with the global market, Taiwan's oyster farming industry must undergo industrial transformation such as using "artificial attachment of seedlings".
