To provide an adequate response to the problem of low production in the mussel industry, it is important to utilize possible sites where both hydrographic and biophysical conditions favor mussel growth in the Philippines. The identification of suitable and potential areas for mussel culture could provide an impetus for the expansion of mussel culture leading …
This project is a spin-off of the previous project titled “Development of depuration and relaying techniques for Philippine green mussels”. Depuration and relaying are effective techniques to reduce or eliminate bacterial contamination in mussels. Prolonging the depuration of shellfish may be necessary when the contaminants in the natural culture environment of shellfish were too high …
Verification of longline technology at different productivity and depth would aid in the expansion of culture areas in the country. The longline system is more environmentally friendly than the present bamboo stake method that has also limited the expansion of the industry through these years. It opened other suitable areas to mussel farming and generated …
