Mussel farming

Abstract
This manual describes various aspects of mussel farming, using the raft method of culture, in Singapore. It is based on experiences gained by the Primary Production Department during its research studies and investigations made between 1975 and 1981. The findings from a Mussel Culture Project conducted jointly between the Primary Production Department and the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada are also incorporated.
Description
This manual is based on a technical paper: Manual on Mussel Farming in Singapore by Leslie Cheong and Lee Hoe Beng, presented at the Workshop on Bivalve Culture in Asia and the Pacific which was organized by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada in Singapore, 16-19 February 1982. It has been adapted by the authors to meet extension requirements.
