Mussel Farming Submerged Longlines

A submerged longline system is commonly used to reduce the impact of storms and heavy seas, to allow mussel farming in areas that experience ice during the winter months, and to eliminate visual concerns from local landowners.

The stability of a submerged longline starts with its anchorage. Depending on the type of seabed, different anchors are utilised to secure the longlines effectively. Anchor and Mooring lines are the main components for anchoring the longline. ABS buoy worked as pressurised longline buoys are installed at regular intervals along the longline. Their role is to provide positive buoyancy, supporting the weight of mussel socks and ensuring that the mussels remain at the optimal depth for growth. Submerged mussel farms utilise a sophisticated system of pressurised buoys to ensure both the productivity the mussel crops and the safety of operations above. ABS buoy is a good choice as pressurised Longline Buoys, since it can withstand high pressure under the water.
