Mussel: a nutritious pleasure

The majority of its cultivation is done by the system of rafts, which consist of platforms attached to the bottom of the sea, from which hang ropes to which the mussel seed adheres, by means of meshes.
Soon, these meshes fall apart, leaving the mussel free, which has already made the biso with which it is attached to the rope.
