  • EcoStrand® Mussel Rope System – The Ocean-Friendly Aquaculture Alternative

    EcoStrand® is a patented, self-sinking mussel rope engineered for high-efficiency aquaculture and sustainable farming practices. Designed with both performance and environmental impact in mind, it offers unmatched strength, yield potential, and handling in commercial mussel operations.

    Key Features:

    • Self-sinking, lead-free core with a specific gravity ideal for aquaculture systems

    • Constructed with 55% recycled polyester from discarded plastic bottles

    • High tensile strength compared to ropes of similar diameter and configuration

    • Proven to yield up to four times more mussels per foot than comparable systems

    • Reduced mussel damage during harvesting due to soft yet structured rope design

    • Resists biofouling and bacterial growth for a longer working life and less maintenance

    • Successfully trial-tested in California under strict ecological regulations
