English. The people of Thailand have been increasingly turning to mollusc culture as the deterioration of the coastal environment has reduced production from natural beds. Oysters, mussels, and cockles are cultured for human consumption. Various traditional methods of mollusc culture have been improved and developed by the introduction of modern techniques. However, the most important factor is the ecology of the area. Several culture areas are now polluted by industrial and domestic wastes, and to some extent, highly turbid waters have resulted from mining activities. Therefore, in addition to farm management, government assistance is required to improve environmental conditions
