This is How Fisherman Catch Hundreds Tons Scallops - Amazing Catching & Processing Scallops on Sea

[@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]

Hahahah, nice! That first line of your comment before you start shilling for the dredge fishing industry was quite funny. Also like how you mention how scallops generally live far from coral reefs as if it has some sort of relevance. Lol, I could see what you were doing and I dig your style.

[@connorlowis4774]

Unfortunately all common seafood will be extinct or at the very least endangered, overfishing is a truly devastating, measurable phenomenom. 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.

I see people saying this is how the reefs and coral are being destroyed, nonsense! Did you watch the same video I watched? No coral, no by-catch (except starfish), no ripped up weed beds just a hell of a lot of excess harvesting of sea scallops. 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? I’ve seen the depletion of so much sea life in my lifetime I fear that those that can effect change will ignore our oceans and its sea life that most of it will become extinct. 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. Crabs too are unsafe. Fish carry high levels of mercury and iodine. There are parasitic worms in some of the larger fish making them unusable. ANYWAY I’m rambling....😩

Every year around 300 thousand tons of scallop is harvested, and it's 100% sustainable. Because sowing method is used. It's when small baby scallops are released in the sea, and left to grow for 3-4 years, to be harvested later. And there is no damage to seabed, because its all just sand, no corals or anything.

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

Really unhealthy method of catching. They harm other species and sea bed while dredging the heavy machine. ☹️

[@KingSetherd]

My god. I’ve never seen so many weak minded individuals in one place. They are literally not considered to be endangered, overfished, or anything. Sure, maybe there is a better way of collecting them and such. However, many of you on here are simply overreacting. Plus, there is even farms for these things. Again, I’m not speaking for all sea creatures we harvest. Before you know it. I can see many of you in around 40 years will be calling harvesting corn inhumane and purely genocide at this rate we are going. Unfortunately, people got to eat and survive regardless of whatever it may be. In other news, we are Omnivores and not Carnivores, or Herbivores. Our bodies need (Regardless of YOUR lifestyle) the best of both.

[@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.
