oyster farm

Mollusk cultivation site

An oyster farm is a facility where oysters are cultivated commercially, typically in coastal waters.

Oysters are raised on ropes, cages, or beds until they reach market size.

The practice differs from wild harvesting—farmers control growing conditions and can produce oysters year-round: The oyster farm supplies restaurants throughout the region.
