Abstract
Probably no more than two or three dozen of the species of marine bivalves have ever been cultured through their entire life cycle. Larval stages of perhaps fifty additional species have been reared in the laboratory, but juveniles have not been cultured, The life cycles of bivalves in the orders Solemyoidea and Septibranchia are not even known. Nonetheless, a considerable body of information on cultivation of marine bivalves is available. Although the bulk of experimental work has been specifically with commercially important species, many of the techniques are applicable to, or adaptable to, other species.
