Ocean acidification can pose a challenge to abalone aquaculture. Seaweed can help

Growing dulse alongside abalone could have big benefits for aquaculture

An experimental array of structures are seen here. Concrete blocks in particular result in an increased number of crabs, which decrease the predatory Atlantic whelks that consume native oysters. Oyster shells serve as structures for juvenile oysters to attach. Courtesy of Marcella Heineke.

Scientists restore native oysters by bringing back an enemy of their predator
