Here, they get young mussels as they float through the water. The young ones attach themselves to ropes the fishers have strung. When big enough, they are removed and sent to another mussel farm. They have this done to them a few times until they are ready to be marketed as green lipped mussels! Scarey things are happening, however. Some donut in a boat from South Africa released ballast and they are trying desperately to clean up what is a real threat to the native mussel. Lots of worried people here.
