Cover Conservation aquaculture—the cultivation of aquatic organisms to manage or replenish natural populations— is especially compelling for species in decline. However, although attempts to culture the widely overexploited queen conch Aliger gigas (pictured) have been ongoing for more than 40 years, hatchery releases have low survival. Queen conch aquaculture is useful for scientific inquiry, community engagement and education, but not for stock enhancement or population restoration. A more practical and cost-efficient option is to protect breeding aggregations, which should be prioritized for the ecological viability of the species, as well as for the economic value for the people and industries that rely upon it.
