  abstract = {{F}aced with the challenge of preserving fish stocks, threatened by global warming and overexploitation due to population growth, aquaculture is a means of meeting the demand for aquatic animal proteins. {A}lthough {A}frica is now the world's second most populous continent after {A}sia, it accounts for just 2.7% of global aquaculture production. {T}his situation has given rise to considerable reflection aimed at promoting the development of {A}frican aquaculture, and oyster farming in particular. {T}he main objective of this study was to gain a better understanding of the environmental constraints of oyster farming in {S}enegal, in order to identify the necessary foundations for the emergence of the sector. {T}o achieve this, a questionnaire and an interview guide were used to gather the necessary information from one hundred (100) oyster producers, selected using the snowball sampling method, in the {S}aloum {D}elta, {C}asamance and {P}etite {C}{\^o}te. {M}eetings with resource persons and field visits were also organized to obtain an overview of the oyster farming industry. {T}he results showed that oyster farmers' level of education is fairly low, and that women account for over 90% of those surveyed. {I}t should be noted that the oyster farmers are all members of oyster farming groups responsible for supplying oyster farming equipment, training in oyster farming and marketing oysters. {T}he choice of one of the three existing farming methods (suspension, table and estrien) was guided by the techniques acquired, to the detriment of the environment. {T}he results also showed that among the environmental factors hindering oyster farming, bio-aggressors are the most influential, and their management remains problematic in all our study areas.},
