Bivalve shellfish aquaculture provides many benefits to society, beyond their traditional market value. This study collates the evidence available on the provisioning, regulating and cultural ecosystem services provided by the bivalve species commonly used in aquaculture. For the first time, it synthesises this evidence to provide a global assessment of the potential market and non‐market economic value of bivalve aquaculture. Bivalves are filter feeders, filtering water and particulates, creating substrates which provide habitat to act as nursery grounds for other species. Goods from provisioning services include meat, worth an estimated $23.9 billion as well as, pearls, shell and poultry grit, with oyster shell being the most important, with a global potential worth of $5.2 billion. The most important regulating services are nutrient remediation. Cultivated bivalves remove 49,000 tonnes of nitrogen and 6,000 tonnes of phosphorus, worth a potential $1.20 billion. Currently, there is little evidence on the cultural services per year of bivalve aquaculture, but we argue that these cultural values are broad ranging, although difficult to quantify. Our assessment indicates that the global, non‐food bivalve aquaculture services are worth $6.47 billion ($2.95 billion–9.99 billion) per annum. However, this is likely to be an underestimate of the true value of bivalve aquaculture as there are significant gaps in evidence of the value for a number of key services. The analysis presented here can be used to indicate the likely scale of payments for ecosystem services provided by bivalve aquaculture, prior to more detailed assessments.

“…Sample preparation and subsequent FIO quantification from mussel tissue followed an adapted methodology from Clements et al (2013). This method was selected as opposed to the reference method (ISO/TS, 16649-3, 2005) for E. coli as it was demonstrated to show statistically similar E. coli recovery rates whilst being less time consuming and expensive per sample.…”

“…Although significant environmental reservoirs of FIOs have been identified in the sediment of mussel beds (Martinez-Manzanares et al, 1992) and in epizoic barnacles (Clements et al, 2013), in addition to the well documented bacterial reservoirs present in estuarine sediments which are known to provide favourable conditions for the survival of FIOs such as E. coli in the environment (Davies et al, 1995;Obiri-Danso and Jones, 2000;Valiela et al, 1991). However, information about the direct relevance of these sources for shellfish contamination is limited as most of these studies focus on the potential for bacterial resuspension into the water column and subsequent implications to localised water quality.…”
