bi żball, xi ftit imħar krepiduli kienu tħalltu ma’ dan il-lott.
however, this project does not seem to bebringing the expected results: the dredged areas are quicklyrecolonised by shellfish carried in by currents and trawling nets.

soluzzjoni waħda tkun li dawn l-operazzjonijietisiru aktar profittabbli billi l-imħar krepiduli jibdew jinbiegħubħala fertilizzanti għall-agrikoltura.
one solution consists in using the slipper shells as lime fertiliser for agriculture.

billi jċaħħduhom minn spazjuu ikel, l-imħar krepiduli jikkawżaw tnaqqis fil-popolazzjonijietselvaġġi u jrażżnu t-tkabbir tal-gajdriet imrobbija.
the victims of this invasion are the indigenous shellfish, in particular scallops and oysters. by depriving them of space andfood, the slipper shells cause wild populations to decrease andthey hamper the growth of farmed oysters.

huwa b’hekk illi llum il-ġurnata l-kolonnji ta’ l-imħar krepiduli jinsabu malkosta kollha ta’l-ewropa, mill-iżvezja sal-mediterran.
in an effort tocope with high mortality among portuguese oysters, frenchoyster farmers imported massive amounts of japanese oysters, especially from british columbia.
