DESCRIZIONE
Methods and devices related to an improved mussel sock. The improved mussel sock is a mesh of cells constructed from strands of a first material such as polypropylene. Strands of a second material, with weaker mechanical properties than the first material such as cotton, are woven through the mesh so as to divide each cell into at least two sub cells. Once the mussel sock is full of mussels and after prolonged exposure to water, the second material will degrade and eventually give way to the mussel, thereby providing a mussel suck with a larger cell size. The improved mussel sock also has reinforced sides and are cut to predetermined lengths. One end of the predetermined length mussel socks are reinforcedly sewn shut to provide a ready to-use sock for the mussel farmer.
