Most barnacles are encrusters, attaching themselves to a hard substrate such as a rock, the shell of a mollusc, or a ship; or to an animal such as a whale (whale barnacles). The most common form, acorn barnacles, are sessile, growing their shells directly onto the substrate, whereas goose barnacles attach themselves by means of a stalk. [8]

After about three months in the nursery, mussel seed is "socked" (placed in a tube-like mesh material) and hung on longlines or rafts for grow-out. Within a few days, the mussels migrate to the outside of the sock for better access food sources in the water column. Mussels grow quickly and are usually ready for harvest in less than two years.
The mussels live in waters that are 11–32 °C (52–90 °F) with a wide-ranging salinity of about 18-33 ppt. [4] P. viridis grows fastest at 2 metres (2 yards) below the surface, in high salinity and a high concentration of phytoplankton, although it can tolerate a range of salinity and turbid water. [6]
