The invention relates to a method and a device for cultivating bi-valve molluscs, such as mussels and scallops, wherein use is made of line(s) and/or net(s) suspended in the water, which are supported by at least one floating body, and to a vessel in particular for use with the present method and device. The floating body is disposed some distance below the water surface. The device comprises means which make it possible to dispose the floating body a desired distance below the water surface or on the water surface. The vessel is provided with lifting means for moving a carrier with the line(s) and/or net(s) attached thereto in upward or downward direction, as well as with means for moving the carrier with the line(s) and/or net(s) attached thereto in a direction transversely to its longitudinal direction over the vessel.
