The GEM Mussel Float was designed with the purpose of playing a pivotal role in the cultivation of mussel spat on ropes suspended from twin anchorage points on the float, positioned top and bottom. A special valve is fitted to allow air pressurisation before and during use. This feature ensures that both shape and buoyancy are preserved in all marine conditions. Compared to the method of dredging mussels from the seabed, the GEM Plastics Limited float offers a number of distinct advantages.
The GEM Mussel float comes in 3 sizes, 300 litres, 200 litres and the 100 litres sub-mergeable.
