To avoid slippage in mussel ropes which of the following is used:

Correct option is B

Correct Answer: (b) Pegs
Explanation:
→ Pegs (small wooden/plastic pegs) are sometimes employed to fix mussel clusters or to increase friction at attachment points and prevent slippage along the cultivated lines/ropes.
→ They help maintain even distribution of mussels and reduce loss during growth.
Information Booster:
→ Other methods (knots, droppers) manage spacing and support, but pegs specifically reduce sliding.
Additional Information (Other Options):
(a) Droppers: short lines to space mussel lines.
(c) Blades: not used for anti-slippage.
(d) Knot: secures lines but not specifically anti-slip for mussels.
