I talked recently with a consultant who specialized in food sovereignty and security work and they didn't see the industry as fully developed as mariculture for muscles and clams. Seafood Processing facilities are wary preparing it for market and prefer to stick to what they know. Allegedly there was only a single grower in my state who was reliably turning a profit without major subsidies. Perhaps its more developed in Europe and this is less applicable.
