Description The technology for mussel culture using suspended
ropes was developed in India during the
early seventies. Mussels were grown attached on
ropes suspended from floating wooden rafts
anchored in the inshore sea off Calicut, Karwar,
Vizhinjam and Goa. These experiments showed
the technical viability of growing mussels on
ropes, besides, it showed the advantages of a tropical
environment, which reduced the duration
of culture to five months. In spite of the many
advantages the technology did not find many
takers. In 1995, the raft culture technique was
modified by the CMFRI to suit the rough open
sea conditions by the design of long-lines to suspend
seeded ropes.
