My comment:

El encordado consiste en rodear una cuerda con peque�os mejillones que son sujetados a �sta envolviendo el conjunto con una especie de venda. Los "chorizos" as� formados se suspenden verticalmente en el agua (cultivo vertical, suspendido, en cuerda), y mientras el tejido de la venda se descompone con el agua (y llega a desaparecer), los mejillones se agarran a la cuerda y entre s� por medio de su biso, quedando fuertemente api�ados.
