Molluscs are a large group of invertebrate animals, including both shellfish and crustaceans. Shellfish are aquatic animals with a hard outer shell, such as oysters, clams, mussels, and scallops. Crustaceans are aquatic animals with a hard exoskeleton, such as shrimp, lobster, and crab. Both shellfish and crustaceans are harvested for human consumption, and are a major part of the seafood industry. Shellfish and crustaceans are harvested from both wild and farmed sources. Wild-caught shellfish and crustaceans are harvested from natural habitats, while farmed shellfish and crustaceans are raised in controlled environments. Both wild-caught and farmed molluscs are sold in a variety of forms, including fresh, frozen, canned, and dried. The mollusc market is highly competitive, with a wide range of companies operating in the sector. Examples of companies in the mollusc market include Trident Seafoods, High Liner Foods, and Ocean Beauty Seafoods. Show Less Read more
