Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Question - How long does it take to raise a mussel?

Answer - Mussels can grow quickly and are usually ready for harvest in less than 24 months. Unlike other cultured bivalves, mussels use byssus threads to attach themselves to any firm substrate, which makes them suitable for a lot of culture methods.

Question - How long can mussels live without water?

Answer - Bacteria can grow rapidly at temperatures between 40 °F and 140 °F thus meaning mussels must be discarded if left out for more than two hours at room temperature and always discard if mussels are no longer alive.

Question - Are farmed mussels good for you?

Mussels are one of the most well-rounded sea foods to include in your diet, high in zinc, iron and other minerals, B12 and vitamins A.
