Description

Specifically, this project will establish reliable best practices for larval rearing and settlement protocols for sea scallops, identify sea scallop hatchery microbiomes as they relate to health status, examine the larval immunocompetence of sea scallops and its relevance to larval survival, establish reliable best practices for sea scallop broodstock conditioning and spawning, evaluate the economics of commercial scale hatchery production, and engage with stakeholders to create a community of practice. For the larval-focused objectives, the project team will collect 100 adult scallops from cobscook BAY, me to spawn in a hatchery setting, providing larvae for the proposed experiments. The number of scallops collected is extremely small relative to the size of the wild population, and will be collected under a special license issued by the maine department of natural resources. No animals involved in this project will be released into the wild.
