Abstract
The Asian green mussel, Perna viridis (Linnaeus,1758) is a major resource of the Indian coast,as they are one of the most preferred edible bivalves. Recent years have witnessed a high demand for mussel seed for farming. Mass production of mussel seed in a technologically sound and cost-effective manner is inevitable for increasing the mussel production. Hatchery production and nursery rearing trials of P. viridis, conducted at CMFRI hatchery has rekindled the hope for developing commercially viable mussel seed production technology in India. Mussel hatchery trials revealed that a production rate of more than 0.1-0.5 million spat can be realized from a one ton capacity FRP tank within 30-40 days and 0.1 million spat can be nursery reared to seed size (8-12 mm) in a nursery-cage within 45 days. Larval rearing and use of micron meshed cages for the nursery rearing of hatchery produced P. viridis spat; ensuring the economically feasible large scale production of green mussel seed is discussed.
