[@nielsm.5813]

I’m as concerned as anyone else about our seabeds and marine life, as well as sustainable fishing. But a lot of folks here are jumping to conclusions. Scallops generally live in large clusters deep on the sandy ocean floor, far from coral reefs (which are generally in shallow waters) and many of the life forms you’re familiar with such as sponge, urchins, and most types of fish. Most things that get caught in dredger nets besides scallops are starfish and rocks, which fishermen are often required by law to toss back into the ocean along with underdeveloped and undersized scallops to promote sustainable fishing. There are also limits to how many scallops each vessel can take in yearly, called quotas, and selling small or undersized scallops can result in fines since it diminishes their numbers. It’s relatively rare for anything other than scallops, starfish, rocks, and the occasional clam or crab to get caught in the nets. And, as I stated, the fishermen are required to return them to the ocean. This is a very heavily regulated industry. Do also keep in mind that a single scallop can produce over 200,000,000 eggs in its lifetime, and many are hermaphroditic and can switch between male and female. As such, their reproduction rate is quite high, and eggs are far too small to get caught in the dredger nets.

[@dhwang101]

According to the charity Open Seas, scallop dredging is the worst method of fishing for sea life because of the damage it causes the seabed habitat and its species. But conscientious diners need not despair: there are still guilt-free means of eating scallops. The Marine Conservation Society has not advised people to stop eating scallops altogether, but has encouraged seafoodies to eat the more sustainable kind. “Look for hand-dived options as this is a low-impact fishing method,” says Debbie Crockard, the society’s senior fisheries policy advocate

[@rohanplantboyjames6812]

That along with the water toxicity and levels of PCBs, mercury and heavy metals in all seafood, is the real thing environmentalists should be fighting over, rather then some nonsense about oil being bad and humans influence heating up the planet. The latter is all about governments trying to tax the fossil fuels industry, netting them trillions in taxes, like the Paris climate accord, USA had to pay a few trillion over the course of a couple years, for a “carbon tax” Idiots like to pretend they’re fighting the important issues and in their ignorance ignore the larger very real environmental problem.

[@bigbuilder10]

The rakes can only be used in sandy bottom conditions. Rocky, grass, et c. and it could break or be clogged. Sand bottoms are devoid of plant life and other animals minus those that filter feed. The main ecological damage caused by them is any accidental by catch (unintended marine life) or if something breaks and is left on the bottom. It’s possible they can hit underwater power conduits, gas lines, et c. and cause outages to whoever received the stuff on the other end of the pipe. Shrimp boats use large nets with chains in front of them. Then chain goes along the surface of the sand and the shrimp instinctively jump up, landing in the net that hovers over the bottom (there fragile enough that you don’t want them to drag on even a sandy bottom).

[@bigbuilder10]

Based on the video, it’s not a farm, it would be open water somewhere. Farm raised scallops and other shellfish are grown in bags that get progressively bigger as the shellfish gets larger. When harvest day comes, the “farmer” just comes and lifts the big bag out of the water and sends them stuff to a processing plant

This type trawler cannot operate in the shallow waters that coral reefs live. Those that say this is unsustainable are correct. We farm clams and oysters, why not scallops?

As a child I fished for fun, as a young man I fished for food as an old man I no longer fish because most of what was plentiful when I used to fish is so scarce I don’t want to fish for it.our shoreline waters are brown or cloudy, our bays smell, natural caught clams, oysters and mussels aren’t safe to eat because of effluent waste.

@@happyguy5414 so how do you explain people successfully dragging for scallops and fish as well as trapping lobster in the same locations for decades?

[@happyguy5414]

@@evergreen4034 They don’t, they keep fishing beyond the areas where they have just fished. Just imagine someone dragging a huge rake across the countryside ripping up all the vegetation, inc the hedges, trees and and dry stonewalls and turning the whole countryside into a desert and killing all the wildlife inc the insects. How long do you think it would take for the wildlife to return, especially considering that they keep doing it over and over again? Anyway please don’t question my judgment on this subject because I’m a marine scientist having worked with the scallop fleet for many years and I’ve dived through areas of seabed which has been raked by scallopers and seen the terrible damage and destruction they have caused over huge areas of the UK and Europe’s inshore and offshore coastline. The only scallop fishing that should be allowed is diving for them in controlled and regulated areas!

Classic example of why so many of us have been trying for years to position how this type of bottom-gear fishing is entirely inappropriate on so many levels... folks need to post this far and wide to show just how destructive scallop dredging is... ridiculous this posted as something good... irresponsible beyond belief...

[@bayman50cal]

Just like here in the Chesapeake Bay with the fish oil ships depleting the fish that other species depend on to live. The fishery here has suffered tremendously. No where near the amount of fish being caught that we used to catch in the 70s and 80's.

[@nokiot9]

Ray L you notice how almost ALL of their catch is scallops? Maybe 2% is other stuff. I think this was in a scallop fishery where they go out and release babies then come back and get them. And they do it sustainably under really strict fish and game laws and FDA/EPA regulations to protect the environment and local wildlife. These fisheries make it way less economically attractive to go and plough random seabed’s with drag nets.

[@nokiot9]

And you notice how they’re throwing all the small ones back? It’s to keep the population stable.

Tommy Ohlrich Great observation. Thanks for the educational info.

[@Thenakedforager]

I love eating scallops but I will only ever eat the ones I’ve caught myself. Trawling the seabed is so destructive and kills off so many species of fish/shellfish in one drag. Officials who control the fishing industry needs to realise trawling over and over today will lead to the extinction of many crustaceans in the very near future, if they need reminding they should look at the demise of Cod over the last 20 years!

Low-lying coral reefs are deeply impacted yes, ground creatures like sponges or starfish can be easily killed, and about 20% of sea life that enter the dredge trap are killed by stones uprooted from the sea floor, including the scallops themselves.

they are shucked at sea because the shells are full of spat or baby scallops are left to grow . landing in the shell is a sure way to destroy your next crop .

It's illegal to shell them at sea in NZ. The shells are not full of spat. The orange roe is full of spawn and that's how they reproduce. Don't fall for fishing industry lies.
