Includes bibliographical references (pages 7-8). "During a 5-yr tagging program, 1977-1981, 20,086 scallops were released from 139 stations on Georges Bank (GB) and in Great South Channel (GSC). Of these, 1282 (6.4%) were returned representing 135 release sites. Tagged scallops were at large an average 310 d (R 2-1850) on GB and 243 d (R 11-783) in GSC. Mean individual distance between release and recapture was 8.4 km on GB and 5.7 km in GSC. Overall 52.5% of returns were within 5 km of release site, 77.1% within 10 km and 94.0% within 25 km. Returns were partitioned into 12 grids for Georges Bank and data pooled for a single release site at the center of each grid. The angle of mean vectors for each grid indicated clockwise circular movement around the outer perimeter of Georges Bank in concert with the mean direction of current flow"--Abstract.
