Open-ocean sea scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) culture trials in Chaleur Bay, Canada : comparing culture gears and husbandry practices / by L.-A. Davidson, R. Nowlan and M. Niles.: Fs97-6/3121E-PDF
The growth and survival of sea scallops (Placopecten magellanicus) cultured in an exposed environment were assessed. The study site was an open-ocean mussel farm site in Chaleur Bay, Canada from which mussels (Mytilus edulis) have been harvested since 2004. Based on the growth and survival rates of the cultured scallops and sea scallop spat collection rates (451.33 ± 97.45/bag) observed in this study, farming sea scallop in Chaleur Bay could be successful, as it is in other parts of Atlantic Canada.
