Depending on what it substitutes for, it would also reduce crop farming and associated rodent/insect deaths, which are more sentient than bivalves.
That’s interesting. Could you maybe show some estimate for how substituting bivalves for some other food results in X bivalves suffering instead of Y rodents and Z insects?
Non-EAs are receptive to a proposal to substitute bivalves for other meat. They are not receptive to proposals to go vegetarian/vegan.
Do you have a source for people being more receptive to the former than the latter? I can’t imagine a single person I know saying “ok, I’ll only eat muscles instead of all other meat if it will cost the same.”

I think a stronger case may be made for substituting fish with bivalves, though this is again anecdotal.
