Submersion time of collector ropes influences settlement and larval metamorphosis of Mytilus galloprovincialis , which might be related to the biofilm development. In the present study, the effect of submersion time of collector ropes on the settlement of mussel seed was studied. The results of two experiments performed in an experimental long‐line in the Ría de Ares‐Betanzos have established a minimum submersion time of 41–46 days.
