One of the star products in the mussel farming sector is the cotton net.
Nowadays it is a basic product and highly exploited by our mussel farmers since they need it in all phases of its cultivation, from breeding to splitting the mussel.
The cotton net is a product that seeks to facilitate the grip of the mussel to the palisade rope and that hangs from the raft for their cultivation.
In the unfolding, the aim is to prevent the mussels from falling from the rope when bad weather arrives, in addition to allowing them to grow quickly and uniformly. To do this, once the mussels are halfway grown, the growers move the ropes with a crane and divide them, separating the different sizes. With this operation, 3 or 4 ropes can be prepared from one original rope using the cotton net.
In addition, we can say that there is no viable alternative on the market that allows performing the functions that we have described, which increases its importance in the sector.
One of the objectives of Ecoplas is to offer solutions to the needs of our customers and in this sense, this product perfectly meets the needs of mussel farmers.
