Description This paper briefly recapitulates some of the experiments carried out by the Central Marine
Fisheries Research Institute at its various research centres along the east and west coasts in culturing
mussels in the open sea and sheltered bays. Variations in the technology of mussel farming. principally
rope culture and raft culture have been experimented under field conditions. Local fishermen ware
involved under the Operational Research Project and Lab to Land Project with the main objective of
developing mussel farming into an industry and to provide additional income to the fishermen. In the
light of our experience, the problems involved and the constraints in the effective implementation are
objectively reviewed. The possible remedial measures for overcoming some of these constraints are
presented in this account
