Objective
OBJECTIVES AND EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
The main objective of the project is to increase the European production of the great scallop, Pecten maximus. The scallop is a highly valued seafood product on the European seafood market. There are about 20 species of commercially exploited or cultivated species world wide, and of these the great scallop is one of the most sought after. The EC market for scallops is strongly dependent on import from overseas areas. In 1997 the EC imported more than 20.000 tons (meat weight) of fresh, frozen and chilled scallops to a value in excess of 180 million ECU.
The supply from EC countries is dominated by fishery (30.000 tons raw weight), while on a world scale the production of scallops is dominated by aquaculture (> 70%). Increased EC production from aquaculture will greatly enhance the supply of high quality live and fresh scallops to the market. Currently most of the European scallop production is dredged or diver harvested, but aquaculture production is increasing.
