The attached photos are from Germany on the farming of Mytilus edulis<\/i> (blue mussel) in the Kiel Fjord (Western Baltic Sea, brackish water with approximately 15 PSU salinity). <\/span><\/p>\n

Mussels are grown on longlines (100m long, 7.5m distant from each other, 10 m water depth). On the longlines mussel substrates (collector material during spatfall of mussels) and app. 4 months thereafter mussels are restocked in special mussel”socks” (net tubes with different mesh sizes) that contain young mussels with a size of 1-2cm. Mussels grow 18 month from larvae settlement until harvestable size (5 cm) in 1-4m water depth. Harvest season is from autumn until spring (September until April), when temperatures are low.<\/span><\/p>\n
