Abstract
The green mussel Perna viridis forms a significant fishery along the Malabar coast. The green mussel forms extensive beds on the laterite and granite formations along Kasargod to Kozhikode in the intertidal and subtidal zones up to 15-20m depth.The mussel farming sector now faces twofold problem in acquiring seed for farming in the estuaries. a) Mussel spat settlement has been relatively poor and not available duringthe mussel farming season. b) The mussel pickers are unwilling to supply seed to the mussel farmers.
