BAY SCALLOP GROW-OUT TECHNIQUES

The purpose of this award is for the grantee to investigate and broadcast specific shellfish growing techniques for Bay Scallops. The project will demonstrate techniques that have been successfully used elsewhere to grow Bay Scallop seed to independent viability or near-maturity, for the purposes of statewide farm harvests and/or restoration throughout Narragansett Bay in conjunction with on-going Eel Grass restoration.
