Money in Breeding Pearly Mussels
The United States fisheries bureau pursues artificial mussel breeding as a profitable venture. Breeding 1,000 young mussels costs about 20 cents, and 18,000 mature mussels would weigh a ton, yielding a hypothetical market value of $2.68 per ton if all survive while a 60 percent loss reduces costs.
