Mussel samples from 30 cm ropes were collected from rope-grown mussel beds by hand. The crustacean fauna associated with mussel population were quantified. The density of crustacean fauna associated with mussels was significantly greater within rope-grown mussel assemblages than on other biotopes around.enCrustaceaMytilus galloprovincialisRaft cultureRope -grown musselsSpecies richnessArticle
