The farm in the Musholm Bay is a mussel-farm run by the fish aquaculture company Musholm, thus representing the “Danish model” of fish farms that compensate nutrient outlet from their fish farm by growing and harvesting mussels.

The conditions for farming at the site are exposed, with general strong currents, shifting salinity and rough weather. The special interest for the Musholm farm at this stage is to maximise nutrient uptake by testing different mesh-sizes of net substrate and different times of the year to harvest in order to increase the mussel production. Since it is more efficient to harvest the mussels at a smaller size if the aim is to gain a high biomass in a short time, the business potential to use small and thin-shelled mussels in animal feed is also of great interest to the Musholm farm.
