The blood cockle is usually reared closed to the shore in estuarine areas with fine mud at the depths of 0.5-1 m. The cultivated area should not be exposed above sea level for more than 2-3 hours during low tide. For extensive systems, cockle spats of 0.3-0.5 g are collected from the natural seabed. The culture period is about two years.
