Scallops are transferred to deep-water tenures where they are suspended in a mesh bag (suspension culture) or are seeded on the ocean floor (bottom culture). Wild scallops are commercially harvested around November to March.

Did you know?

Farmed scallops help reduce greenhouse gases by removing carbon dioxide from the ocean for shell formation!
Scallop maturation can take 6 to 36 months to mature in suspension culture and an additional 24-36 months in bottom culture.
Scallops obtain all their required nutrients by drawing sea water through their gills.
