Mussel Seed Collection Strategies for Maine Mussel Raft Culture
Mariculture
The Maine mussel raft industry began with investigations in the late 1990s of the possibility of growing mussels on floating rafts, protected from eider ducks by nets, in relatively ice-free locations on the Maine coast. Wood rafts were deployed in Penobscot and Blue Hill Bays, and the mussel seed grew well and had excellent meat yields.
