Ancient Oyster and Bay Scallop Shells from Sable Island

Nature, 1967
Radiocarbon dating suggests that warm water oysters and bay scallops migrated northwards during and after the climatic thermal maximum. The bay scallops may have arrived too late to reach areas in Canada which are now favourable for them.

An inhibitor κB homologue from bay scallop Argopecten irradians

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2010
IkappaB is an important member of NF-kappaB pathway in the innate immune system. In the present study, the full-length cDNA sequence encoding IkappaB protein (designated AiIkappaB) was isolated from bay scallop Argopecten irradians. The complete sequence of AiIkappaB cDNA containing a 5' untranslated region (UTR) of 237 bp, a 3' UTR of 1023 bp with a ...

Development of Genetically Tagged Bay Scallops for Evaluation of Seeding Programs

The Biological Bulletin, 2001
The fish in our experiment grew fastest when fed the prepared diets. However, because hand-feeding hundreds to thousands of juvenile toadfish is not practical, we are attempting to refine the feeding techniques to reduce or eliminate this time-consuming step.

Overview of Bay Scallop (Argopecten irradians) Landings

1989
Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) have been harvested along the Atlantic coast of North America since colonial times. Settlers on Cape Cod picked them up by hand at low tide (Belding 1910). In North Carolina also, shipping to northern markets in New York and Boston began as early as 1870 (Chestnut 1951).

Incidental Occurrence of Bay Scallops in Texas Research Ponds

The Progressive Fish-Culturist, 1993
Abstract Bay scallops (Argopecten irradians) were discovered in 0.4- and 0.8-hectare earthen research ponds at the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Perry R. Bass Marine Fisheries Research Station near Palacios, Texas. These ponds were filled with unfiltered Matagorda Bay water during April 1990 and were drained on 19 September and 8 October 1990 ...

Scallop culture and its supporting system in Mutsu bay

Marine Pollution Bulletin, 1991
Abstract Mutsu bay is one of the major scallop culture fields located at a northern part of Japan where fishermen got 520 thousand tons of scallop, being worth 11, 300 million yen (78 million dollars) in 1986. The fruitful result was brought after a few decade struggle to develop scallop culture techniques by the people concerned, and now, for ...

Testing for Harmful Effects of Clam and Scallop Harvesting Techniques in the North Carolina Bay Scallop Fishery

North American Journal of Fisheries Management, 1987
Abstract An open-access fishery model incorporating negative effects from harvesting techniques was developed to derive a bionomic equilibrium harvest rate. The model was applied to the bay scallop fishery in North Carolina. The results suggested that clam kicking and clam raking have had significant negative effects on the bay scallop recruitment ...

Growth of the bay scallop: The influence of experimental water currents

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 1972
Abstract The growth of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians concentricus (Say), from North Carolina has been investigated in an experimental system which controlled the speed and volume of water flowing past eight series of scallops. Under the influence of rapid current speed (12 cm/sec) the growth of the scallops almost ceased.

Identification of a C-type lectin from the bay scallop Argopecten irradians

Molecular Biology Reports, 2008
C-type lectins are Ca(2+) dependent carbohydrate-recognition proteins that play crucial roles in the invertebrate innate immunity, such as nonself recognition, activation of proPO system, antibacterial activity, promotion of phagocytosis and nodule formation.

Effects of the “Brown Tide” on the Feeding Physiology and Growth of Bay Scallops and Mussels

1989
Suspension feeding bivalves, which rely primarily on phytoplankton as their food source, experienced the most dramatic and immediate impact during massive blooms of the newly described chrysophycean Aureococcus anophagefferens (Sieburth et al., 1988).
