Mussel farming is a very widespread activity in Taranto and with very ancient origins dating back more than a thousand years ago. Here you can find fishermen dedicated to their work.

In Taranto, mussels and other mussels have been cultivated since time immemorial. Oyster farming was already flourishing in the late Roman era and in the Middle Ages thanks to the low salinity in particular of the Mar Piccolo which favored the rapid growth of mussels. In the 16th century, the regents of Taranto established precise rules in the Red Book to avoid the overexploitation of coastal lagoons and the damage caused by certain fishing gear: a text that will be one of the cornerstones of the fishing regulations of the Kingdom of Italy.
