Abstract Growth and survival of size-classes of the green Perna viridis and the brown P. perna mussels were compared in suspended and bottom culture systems in the Southern Caribbean Sea. The size-classes (juveniles, medium-size and adults) were defined in relation to somatic and reproductive characteristics of both species. Survival of P. viridis in bottom culture was close to 100% in all size groups, while in P. perna was between 75 and 80% in juveniles and medium-size and 63% in adults. Survival of P. perna in suspended culture was higher than 85% for juvenile and medium-size individuals and
