Mussel Floats Double Line Mussel Floats NEW PRODUCT JFC polyethylene mussel floats have the potential to substantially boost the profitability of the ropemussels industry whilst simultaneously reducing the number of mussel floats required per site. This should assist mussel farmers in successfully applying for licenses to produce mussels as the visual impact of using JFC mussel floats on-site is minimized, addressing a key concern of some regulatory bodies. Proven Results JFC mussel floats have shown proven results carried out by independent trials. Internationally renowned mussel production expert Dr. John Bonardelli (a world leading independent shellfish production specialist) evaluated and compared the efficiency of JFC mussel floats compared to other similar sized floats commonly used in the rope-grown industry. A trial involving 5 experienced mussel growers in three different coastal counties was conducted across Ireland. According to Dr. Bonardelli; “JFC Mussel Floats clearly demonstrate that rope grown mussels from long lines using JFC mussel floats are more effective in producing higher commercial yields in a shorter time frame than for mussels stocks with similar histories using other equivalent volume floats”. Mussel Float (MF330) JFC is delighted to introduce our latest addition the MF330 Mussel Float - a new blow moulded manufactured mussel float This superior performance mussel float is designed and manufactured for the most demanding conditions. Idea for inshore and offshore locations. Patented Stability Fin The JFC float has been specifically designed so that they can withstand the pressures of high waves and sit steadily on the water, even when loaded with a full crop of mussels. The design ensures that our floats have a low profile in the water, causing limited vertical motion and consequently reducing stress on the mussels. In addition the fin design ensures the mussel holding lines do not brush “up and down” so preventing the crop from falling back into the sea. The end result is that mussels grown using JFC mussel floats, grow larger, have a higher meat quality, and are much less susceptible to losses. All of these factors culminate in significantly increased yields over a shorter time period for the mussel farmer and can significantly improve th

A combination of floats can be used to either increase or reduce the level of floatation required. Eg. As seed grows and becomes heavier the larger MF250 floats can be added to achieve the optimum floatation required. • Ideal for collecting spat both inshore and offshore. • Can be used for extra buoyancy on long...
