Mussels are an important part of an aquatic ecosystem. Like clams, they too are filter feeders, and help to maintain good water quality by filtering nutrients, contaminants and sediments from the water. They have been used in polyculture systems to improve the quality of the surrounding environment. Mussels are an important indicator of ecosystem health. They may be cultured using bottom culture techniques, raft culture techniques, or rack culture.
