ABSTRACT:
A method of feeding bivalves comprises periodically adding comminuted chitin-containing material having particles smaller than 40 .mu.m to a body of water containing bivalves. Arthropod exoskeletons, and particularly, crab shells, are a relatively inexpensive and readily obtainable chitin-containing material that can be comminuted and used for feeding bivalves.
