Dr Reuben Shipway, lecturer in marine biology in the University’s School of Biological & Marine Sciences, said the new system could be a "fantastic way to reduce your carbon footprint".
He said: "We urgently need alternative food sources that provide the micronutrient-rich profile of meat and fish, but without the environmental cost - our system offers a sustainable solution.
"Wild shipworms are eaten in the Philippines – either raw, or battered and fried like calamari.
"But we’re thinking of naked clams being more popular as a white meat substitute in processed foods like fish fingers and fishcakes."
But who is Dr Reuben? Some white dude or some other race perhaps?
There's no way he's White.
