"The Iceland scallop, Chlamys islandica Müller, is a slow growing bivalve of potential commercial importance in the eastern Canadian Arctic. Its physical characteristics, nutrition and growth, reproduction and recruitment, distribution and environmental requirements are described. The local distribution of Iceland scallops in the Canadian Arctic is very patchy. Cohorts of a few dominant year classes can be found in low numbers in many places but denser aggregations are less common. Iceland scallops are mobile and will occupy marginally favourable habitat. Natural mortality of juveniles is high and recruitment is variable. In addition, local sea ice conditions and weather generally limit fishing seasons to a brief duration. The implications of these considerations are related to current research needs, resource assessment, design of resource surveys, and fishing and fishery development strategies"--Abstract, page iv.
