Scallop potting with lights: A novel, low impact method for catching European king scallop (Pecten maximus)

نویسندگان

چکیده

This paper describes, for the first time, that scallops can be attracted into static fishing gear using LED lights. novel finding presents an opportunity development of a new, low impact method scallops. Traditionally, wild caught are primarily fished dredges and trawls. Due to their penetrative nature, interaction this towed with seabed cause significant damage sensitive marine habitats species. Diver have been alternative source, however, sector only supply limited quantities due logistical constraints. In study, we investigate potential illuminated standard commercial crustacean pots. We assessed effect light in range pot designs on scallop, brown crab, lobster crawfish, spider crab catches Cornwall between December 2020 February 2021. A total 77 strings were shot, deploying 1886 pots six treatment types. The grounds used trial traditionally potted crustacea not renowned scallop beds. Despite this, all treatments lights retained 518 recorded, 99.6% (n = 516) modified parlour (treatment F) most effectively, maximum catch rate 19 per string (23–24 string) 24-, number recorded single was 24. show simple inexpensive modifications existing present fishers augment environmental impact, premium product. Further refinement design needed enhance retention before commercially viable fishery established. discuss opportunities these new findings industry managers.

Delineation of Pb contamination pathways in two Pectinidae: the variegated scallop Chlamys varia and the king scallop Pecten maximus.

Bioaccumulation of Pb was determined in Chlamys varia and Pecten maximus exposed to (210)Pb via seawater, food and sediment. Both scallops readily concentrated dissolved Pb with whole-body 7-d concentration factors of 250+/-40 and 170+/-70, respectively. In both species, more than 70% of Pb taken up from seawater was strongly retained within tissues (biological half-life>1.5 month) whereas Pb i...

The quality of great scallop (Pecten maximus) sperm after thawing.

Most publications devoted to the cryopreservation of mollusc sperm have focused on the definition of technical protocols, avoiding the description of sperm quality after thawing. The present study investigated the effects of cryopreservation on sperm quality in the great scallop. Wild scallop were fished during the natural spawning period and conditioned in the hatchery before use. Sperm sample...

Investigation of Ag in the king scallop Pecten maximus using field and laboratory approaches

22 23 The bioaccumulation, tissue and subcellular distributions of Ag were investigated in the 24 king scallop Pecten maximus from the Bay of Seine fishery area (France) in laboratory and in 25 field conditions. Experimental investigations with the radiotracer Ag showed that the 26 scallop readily concentrated Ag when exposed via seawater and to a much lower extent when 27 exposed via sediment....

Bioaccumulation and detoxification processes of Hg in the king scallop Pecten maximus: field and laboratory investigations.

Hg bioaccumulation was investigated in the king scallop Pecten maximus in the laboratory and in the field. In controlled conditions, scallops were exposed to (203)Hg through seawater, sediment and food in order to determine its uptake and depuration kinetics. In the field, Hg and metallothionein (MT) concentrations and the metal subcellular distribution were determined in scallops from two site...
