conditions withoutany contamination and properly placed so that the nucleus
iscompletely enveloped for proper all-round secretion of nacre.
16. What are the advantages of mussel farming?

blood plasma leakage, or into dengue shock syndrome, where dangerously low
bloodpressure occurs. Dengue is spread by several species of mosquito of the
Aedes type, principally 4. aegypti
