They are bivalve molluscs with a dark, oblong shell. These filter-feeding shellfish inhabit freshwater and saltwater environments, playing ecological roles and serving as seafood.
The rack method in mussel farming involves suspending lines or racks in the water, allowing mussels to attach and grow. This method facilitates efficient harvesting and maintenance.
Raft method in mussel farming involves suspending mussel lines from floating rafts on the water's surface, optimising conditions for growth and facilitating efficient harvesting.
The longline method in mussel farming involves suspending ropes or lines in the water, to which mussels spat attach and grow, facilitating efficient harvesting and cultivation.
It involves suspending ropes horizontally in the water. Mussel larvae attach to the ropes, allowing for efficient harvesting and promoting sustainable aquaculture practices.
This farming involves cultivating mussels on wooden poles in intertidal areas. This traditional method enhances mussel quality, taste, and sustainability in coastal environments.
