METHODOLOGY
172 days of rack culture method was carried out in 3 farms.
Spats collected during December 2006 by using spat collectors.
Each rack of 10 × 5 m2 area with 200 ropes each of 1 m length and 15 – 20 mm diameter was seeded @ 2 kg/m of rope using cotton mosquito net . Periodical monitoring of length and weight as well as hydrological parameters was done in each farms.

CONCLUSION
The production potential was compared with that of north
Kerala.
The productivity was lesser than northern zone.
Marketable size of mussel attained during the growth period
indicates suitability and possibility of further development of
mussel farming.
