  <dc:description>&lt;p&gt;Low recovery of transplanted mussels often prevents accurate estimates of survival. We developed a method that provided a high recovery of transplanted mussels and allowed for a reliable assessment of mortality.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="last"&gt;A 3 × 3 m polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe grid was secured to the sediment with iron reinforcing bars. The grid was divided into nine 1-m&lt;sup&gt;2&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;segments and each treatment segment, was stocked with 100 marked mussels. The recovery of mussels after six months exceeded 80% in all but one treatment group.&lt;/p&gt;</dc:description>
