THE ROPE.

    After many years of experience we have reached the conclusion that the most suitable rope for re-tubing is one made from net and plaited with plastic pegs. Due to the large number of knots and loose ends it has, this type of rope constitutes an excellent base for the mussel to fasten onto. The characteristics of this type of rope as regards strength, durability and reliability prove it to be the most suitable, both for the mussel raft system and for the long-line system.

    The rope used is made of two lengths of plaited net with a finished diameter of 16 mm.
