With an average daily income of 400 baht, the farmer is gearing up to expand his mussel farming operations.

The only way is up.

Customers have been flocking to the mussel farm to purchase the mussels, which grow so quickly that they are often sold out even before reaching maturity.

What does this mean??

I am very fond of sea grown mussels and welcome this enterprise. How does the taste of fresh water shellfish compare with those from the sea?

He/she ,calls them by both names in report , should have kept quiet about

the mussel farming , as now she's going to have a lot of competition and

the bottom will fall out of the mussel farming

 

regards worgeordie

Now everyone would want to make 400 bht per day/

Dont know about the one she is growing but the one's I see sold at the morning market seem to be good size and the ones I had in my tom yum soup were very good. 

The problems I have with mussels locally produced is that mussels are filter feeders . and as such in addition to the food they filter they can also accumulate polutand, and with such small operations , or mussels imported from countries with lax regulations, it is difficult to know if they are safe for human consumption.

No thanks. Too risky for sickness.

Fair play to the farmer though. Now public knowledge, the next news story will be "5,000 new freshwater muscle farms opened", and they have been endorsed with OTOP status too.
