Seasonal monitoring surveys of scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) in scallop production areas 1 and 4 from 2000-2005 / by L. Nasmith and S.J. Smith.: Fs97-6/3216E-PDF
"Surveys of Atlantic Sea Scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) populations in the Bay of Fundy have been conducted by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) annually since 1981. During the June 2000 scallop survey large numbers of small scallops (less than 55 mm shell height) were caught in Scallop Production Areas (SPAs) 1A and 4. The abundance of these small scallops was far greater than in the previous year and the largest in almost a decade. The scallop fishing industry expressed concern that this year class could suffer from a mass mortality event. To address the concerns of industry, a seasonal survey was initiated in October 2000 to increase sampling frequency and monitor for any signs of increased mortality in the scallop population. The data collected was examined at the time of collection but had not been analyzed or published since the sampling program ended in 2005. The purpose of this report is to compile and summarize all of the data from this project”--Introd., p. 1.
