Shell height-meat weight allometry of Georges Bank scallop (Placopecten magellanicus) stocks / by G. Robert and M.J. Lundy.: Fs70-8/87-40E-PDF
"This document provides a shell height measure equivalent to the meat count currently in regulation (33 meats per 500 g) and presents analysis of shell height-meat weight allometric relationship for scallop stocks on the Canadian side of Georges Bank. Over 8,000 scallops ranging in height from 48 to 166 mm (meat weight 1.14 - 79.95 g) were collected from the commercial fleet and stock survey cruises during 1982 to 1985. To establish an equivalent shell height measure to the current meat count, it is assumed here that the average meat weight corresponding to 33 meats per 500 g is 15.15 g"--Abstract, page 2.
