An improved submersible mollusc farm is disclosed. A line of cables
bearing the culture ropes and the cylindrical buoys which maintain the
line horizontal is suspended from end floats. The end floats include a
filling/emptying system using water by way of ballast, in order to raise
or submerge the line by inflating the end floats with air. Submerged
tension buoys are connected to the end floats by tension cables and
pulleys which are fixed to the dead weights provided at either end of the
line. The vertical thrust of the tension buoys causes the pulley to
stretch the cable and tauten the line.
