Larval Sea Scallop Culture
| This
winter, staff at the Shellfish Hatchery located on the campus of
Massachusetts
Maritime Academy successfully spawned sea scallop
(Placopecten magellanicus) broodstock
obtained from the wild. As space was limited in their facility,
hatchery
manager Beth Walton transported the larval sea scallops to the Marine
Resources
Center at the Marine Biological Laboratory (Woods Hole, MA) where they
are
currently being raised (see picture at right). The purpose of
this
webpage is to document the growth and development of these organisms,
thereby
this page will be updated frequently. Below are some photos taken during the sea scallops first week in the MRC. |
