Coir Twine For Mussels Production

coir twine is commonly used in mussel production as a substrate for mussel spat (larvae) to attach and grow. The natural, rough texture of coir twine provides an excellent surface for mussel larvae to anchor themselves, facilitating their development into mature mussels.

• Attachment Surface: The rough texture of coir twine provides numerous crevices and irregularities where mussel larvae can securely attach using their byssal threads.

• Buoyancy: Coir rope naturally floats, making it easy to suspend in the water column, which is ideal for mussel cultivation.

• Biodegradability: Coir is a natural and biodegradable material, making it an environmentally friendly choice for mussel farming.

• Cost-Effectiveness: Coir twine is relatively inexpensive compared to other materials used for mussel farming.

• Durability: Coir rope is resistant to degradation in marine environments, providing a stable substrate for mussel growth.

• Sustainability: Coir is derived from coconut husks, a renewable and sustainable resource.
