Kort beskrivelse
Mussel farming was started as a new growth industry in Norway in approx. the year 2000. A large number of mussel installations were established along the coast. The industry met a number of challenges and several companies went bankrupt. The situation resulted in a number of ownerless, disabled mussel installations, including those in Nordland. Most of these ownerless installations have been removed since 2008, either on a voluntary basis, or under the direction of the Directorate of Fisheries and the Norwegian Coastal Administration. However a few ownerless installations still remain in Nordland County.
