Preliminary investigations of juvenile scallops Placopecten magellanicus in Nova Scotia inshore habitats

During the summer and fall of 1989, a number of research initiatives were begun to identify viable research directions in the study of the ecology of juvenile scallops. This survey identified potential aquaculture sites by locating areas of recurrent natural spat settlement and provided information on scallop population size, structure, and habitat preference along the Eastern shore, South shore and Atlantic coast of N.S. Field excursions established a suitable site at which preliminary ecological studies were initiated, including tagging and caging experiments, documentation of juvenile population structure, and a full spat survey. This report presents the results of these investigations, and the collated inshore scallop survey results.
