The NEFSC scallop survey program began in 1960 and had a major gear change in 1979. Since 1979 there have been other gear and vessel changes, for which the effects are generally small (Hart 2015). The survey collected information on total scallop biomass and meat weight biomass. Meat weight is calculated from shell height-to-meat weight ratios from Hennen and Hart (2012) Rutgers University https://portal.midatlanticocean.org/ information web browser Background Information Background information from the source information pointOfContact abundance biomass center data fisheries index individuals nefsc nmfs noaa northeast number scallop science sea statistics survey total year theme Rutgers University project longitude latitude theme CF Standard Name Table v55 The data may be used and redistributed for free but is not intended for legal use, since it may contain inaccuracies.
