Hi Ana,
Wishful thinking. The minute you rear something out of its proper environment it ceases to be "natural". Ideally we would have to start from the beginning and get our oceans back into tiptop shape so that wild bivalves can go nuts and breed like crazy again. Now that gargantuan clean-up of an undertaking should have been started 20 years ago. So you understand why I despair. Unfortunately there is no wild and weird way to rekindle the natural supply that I can think of, not even bivalves buzzed on caffeine. (You meant the bivalves, right?)
