This project will support a collaborative effort of 3 hatcheries, NOAA's Milford Lab and others working to develop consistently successful hatchery methods to raise sea scallops. This innovation is needed to enable sea scallop aquaculture in Maine to reach a scale of significance to Maine's economy, allowing farms to create secure jobs and raise capital. The current practice of capturing spat from the wild to grow out on farms will limit the growth and success of this emerging aquaculture opportunity. Our innovation will result in at least one commercial scallop hatchery in Maine that can serve the needs of the industry and help support future growth.
