A process 1 for the growing and harvesting of mussels is described. The method 1 comprises the steps of: obtaining partly grown mussels 2 from the seabed; sampling the partly grown mussels; preparing a culturing bed 3 in the seabed for growing the mussels; transporting the partly grown mussels 2 to the prepared culturing bed 3. Further sampling steps of the growing mussels are also performed on a monthly basis, eventually allowing the partly grown mussels 2 to mature into fully grown mussels. The grown mussels are then harvested 4 when the meat yield is 30 to 45%. Said mussels 8 are then subjected to a washing step 5 to separate the mussels 8 from the debris, followed by processing the mussels 8 and recycling the empty shells and seedlings or seed mussel 6, 7. The recycling step further comprises; placing the seedlings or seed mussel on the culturing bed, or on a further culturing bed, wherein the seedlings or seed mussel can undergo a further cycle of growth and harvesting. |
