“…Disease. Disease is the single biggest risk to the maintenance and growth of aquaculture production (Oidtmann et al 2011;Murray et al 2012;Marquis et al 2015;Carnegie et al 2016;Jennings et al 2016). At present, NI has a high health status and it is declared free of a number of shellfish diseases.…”

“…To ensure consumer safety, shellfish harvesting sites are subject to a monitoring programme. Any site above safe limits will be closed down temporarily or long-term posing a direct barrier to production (Marquis et al 2015). Despite these controls, a number of outbreaks of human pathogenic viruses associated with bivalve shellfish continue to occur.…”

“…; Marquis et al . ). Despite these distinct benefits of shellfish cultivation, production in the region remains relatively stationary at 3,438 tonnes worth £4.3 million in 2016 in comparison to 3,469 tonnes worth £3.6 million in 2015 (Table ) (FAO , DAERA, ).…”

“…Motivations range from meeting immediate subsidence needs to gathering substantial income for multinational companies trading in export markets (Jennings et al 2016). Shellfish cultivation has the potential to make an important contribution to the environment through their filter-feeding features which can benefit water quality and ecosystem integrity (Coen et al 2007;Marquis et al 2015). Despite these distinct benefits of shellfish cultivation, production in the region remains relatively stationary at 3,438 tonnes worth £4.3 million in 2016 in comparison to 3,469 tonnes worth £3.6 million in 2015 (Table 1) (FAO 2017a, DAERA, 2018.…”

A literature review was conducted to determine the barriers and facilitators to shellfish cultivation using Northern Ireland (NI) as a case study. This review included 23 papers, published in 14 journals, indexed in the Web of Science database. The eligibility criteria included (i) peer‐reviewed articles or websites from key government or agency stakeholders in the aquaculture supply chain; (ii) had a primary focus on shellfish production; and (iii) made reference to the United Kingdom, Ireland or NI. Six key categories were identified as impacting the aquaculture sector: Economic, Environmental, Technical, Welfare, Political and Consumer factors. The most commonly cited codes within these categories included regulations, management decisions, environmental welfare, weather conditions, consumer needs and water quality. Within the scientific literature, the study designs were variable and NI‐specific data were limited. However, the recommendations were relatively consistent. More evidence‐based data collection is needed to better establish the status of the aquaculture industry in this region and to provide more effective management practices and recommendations. The information gained from this review allowed the identification and discussion of the challenges and opportunities for shellfish production worldwide; an insight into production in NI; and preliminary recommendations for improving this industry. As a result, the review offers important foundations and lessons for other aquaculture production units across the world to assess their industry.

“…The oyster disease (''Dermo'') caused by P. marinus is highly prevalent in oyster populations in the United States (Marquis et al, 2015), and most shellfish consumers have been enterically exposed to this and related parasites. Furthermore, we have shown that feeding DR4.EA0 mice with live P. marinus results in IFNc secretion and significantly increased titers of specific IgM and IgG antibodies, indicating live P. marinus stimulated both humoral and cellular response to the parasite, with no pathological effects observed (Wijayalath et al, 2014).…”
