“…Georges Bank has been closed to shellfish harvesting since 1990, with the exception of scallop adductor muscles which do not accumulate PSP toxins, due to the unpredictable nature of toxicity at depth in this region coupled with a lack of resources for adequate monitoring and testing in these federally-managed waters (DeGrasse et al, this 2014a, 2014b). Due to overfishing in adjacent open areas such as the nearshore area of Nantucket Shoals to the west, and both overfishing and population declines due to factors such as disease in the Mid-Atlantic Bight to the south (Fig.…”

“…1), there has been substantial pressure from industry in recent years to re-open portions of Georges Bank to harvesting of surf clams. In addition, requests have been made to allow the harvesting of roe-on scallops (scallop adductor muscle with the viscera removed but the gonad still attached) (DeGrasse et al, 2014a, 2014b). This product is highly valued in certain markets.…”

“…Recognition of the long-term persistence of PSTs in surfclams on Georges Bank (White et al, 1993) and the difficulties of monitoring this offshore resource led to the closure being extended indefinitely, and it was expanded to include ocean quahogs, mussels, and all parts of sea scallops except for the adductor muscle. Only recently has the Georges Bank surfclam fishery become accessible on a limited basis under an onboard screening and dockside testing protocol (DeGrasse et al, submitted), in concert with a research program (GOMTOX 1 ) focused on understanding the heretofore uncharacterized blooms of A. fundyense on Georges Bank.…”
