The cultured mussels are grown in mesh stockings that are suspended from ropes in the water. These ropes are anchored at the bottom and suspended from a buoy. During the winter months Confederation Cove Mussel co. cuts through the ice to retrieve the mussels. Prince Edward Island produces 80 percent of North America's cultured mussels.
