Subject	Green mussel Perna viridis

Description	Not Available In mussel farming, the high.investment costs on polyethylene ropes and operating costs due to transplanting mussel seeds can be reduced through the use of new seeding techniques. New methods were attempted by transplanting Perna viridis (L.) seed to 12 mm diameter polyethylene ropes on which biodegradable cotton net was wrapped and stitched together (control), 12 mm frilled polyethylene rope (Fuzzym) with white fully degradable tubing socks (FuW) and grey semi-degradable synthetic tubing socks (FuG) and 5 cm broad flexible plastic strips (FPS) kept inside pre-stitched biodegradable cotton net. The treatments, which were replicated, were suspended from a fixed rack in a shallow tropical estuary (Ashtamudi Lake). The specific growth rate (SGR) in length and weight, fallout percentage and production in different treatments were compared. There was no significant difference in the SGR in length and weight, while the fallout percentage was significantly (P Not Available
