Study on growth of green mussel (Perna viridis L.) in the Bay of Sriracha by hanging on net with floating cage has been studied from November 1989 to May 1990. Studied in 3 treatments: from sea level to 0.5 m dept, from 0.5 to 1.0 m dept and from 1.0 m to 1.5 m dept. From 4 to 6 months old of green mussel in each of treatment have no significant in growth rate studied by shell length, shell width and body weight. After finished the experiment green mussel grew to magetable size 5.54 cm in average length and 11.75 g in average weight within 7 months. This size is the same size cultured by stakes trap or bamboo stakes. At the experimental area average water temperature is in range from 26.40 to 32.37 deg C, salinity is in range from 30.9 to 33.41 ppt and pH is in range from 8.26 to 8.42.
