“…These methods include both bottom and suspension culture techniques (Maeda‐Martínez, Lombeida, Freites, Lodeiros & Sicard ; Félix‐Pico ). Independently of the culture techniques, catarina scallops can reach commercial size (shell height ≈60 mm) in less than 1 year (Maeda‐Martínez, Omart, Mendez, Acosta & Sicard ; Avendaño, Cantillanez, Le Pennec, Lodeiros & Freites ; Félix‐Pico ).…”

We evaluated recruitment of larvae of catarina scallop, Argopecten ventricosus, in the area of Puerto Peñ asco, NE Gulf of California. We moored artificial collectors in six sites from June 2007 to August 2008 and replaced them every 2 months. We used monthly (July 2002-September 2011) sea surface temperature (SST,°C) and surface chlorophyll-a concentration (SSChl, mg m À3 ) Aqua/MODIS satellite data to describe seasonal environmental behaviour study area. Also, we recorded bottom temperature at each site every 4 h, and every 2 months measured sea surface salinity, temperature and dissolved oxygen. We used a repeated measures ANOVA to evaluate differences in the number of recruited spat between main factors, and analysed the presence of multimodal spat shell size frequency distributions. Overall, spat recruitment was negatively correlated with seawater temperature and showed higher spat recruitment abundances throughout winter, which is the season with the highest surface chlorophyll a concentration. We estimated multimodal shell size frequency distributions characterized by more than one modal size. The natural collection of A. ventricosus spat on artificial collectors in the area can be successfully performed over a protracted period (November-December to May-June). Our results extend the area where collection of A. ventricosus spat can be successful.

This study examined the e¡ects of density and growing season on growth and survival of juvenile lion's paw scallops (Nodipecten subnodosus) in Estero San Buto, a mangrove channel in Bah|¤ a Magdalena, Mexico. Scallops were kept in plastic mesh bags in oyster trays at three population densities (500, 1000 and 2000 organisms per tray, or low medium and high density respectively) over a period of 2 months from October to December 2001and from February to April 2002. Growth (shell height increment) was measured every 7^12 days and mortality was evaluated at the end of the experiment (dead shell count). Overall growth was fast (0.24^0.38 mm day À1 ) in comparison with other pectinids. Signi¢cant di¡erences were found for both, density and season, with faster growth occurring at lower densities and during the fall season when the water temperature was higher. Mortality was low (0.5^3.0% 60 day À1 ) except for the high-density treatment in the fall (44% 60 day À1 ). Crowding together with high water temperatures and increased metabolic oxygen demand of the scallops and possibly competition for food were the probable reasons for this high mortality. Overall, mortality was lower in the spring, when temperatures were lower, O 2 values were higher and food was more abundant.Independent, two-tailed t-tests were used for statistical comparisons, P-values are shown in the last column.

“…The same situation is found for the catarina scallop ( A. ventricosus ) at Rancho Bueno, but here only 7% of the data surpassed the tolerance limit (29°C) of the species. This percentage does not seem limiting as demonstrated in a commercial aquaculture project on this scallop that successfully produced more than 20 t of meat with negligible mortality (Maeda‐Martínez et al 2000). The upper thermal limits of the penshell ( A. maura ) and the Pacific oyster ( C. gigas ) are several degrees higher than the temperature distributions at both sites, and we then assume that these species can be safely cultured there.…”

“…Depths are less than 5 m with irregular bathymetry, and hydrodynamics are dominated by strong tidal currents associated with a 2.25 m tidal range (Mendoza‐Salgado & Lechuga‐Devéze 1995). Because of the strong currents and great abundance of phytoplankton, Rancho Bueno has been regarded as an adequate site for bivalve aquaculture (Maeda‐Martínez, Ormart‐Castro, Méndez, Acosta & Sicard 2000). In this place, several bivalve species have been successfully cultured, including the catarina scallop ( A. ventricosus ), pearl oyster ( Pteria sterna ), penshell ( A. maura ) and the Pacific oyster ( C. gigas ).…”

Frequent monitoring of temperature: an essential requirement for site selection in bivalve aquaculture in tropical-temperate transition zones

et al. 2006

Frequent monitoring of temperature (FMT) for over 1 year at two aquaculture sites in the western Baja California peninsula was analysed in terms of hourly, daily and monthly variability, and with this information, temperature‐change indices were calculated. These data were contrasted against a long‐term series from a global database (Extended Reconstruction of Sea Surface Temperature (ERSST)) to evaluate whether these could substitute for FMT. The compatibility of species requirements with the thermal conditions was evaluated by comparing the temperature frequency distributions from the two FMTs, with the optimum and lethal temperature information available on five bivalve species of aquacultural interest. We concluded that there was no correlation between ERSST and FMT because the former underestimates the amplitude of real temperature fluctuations and exhibits a different pattern of variation during the year. Therefore, FMT was needed for a correct selection of an aquaculture site for bivalves. The FMT indicated high temperature variability at both sites studied on different time scales, with the site located at lower latitude (Rancho Bueno) warmer and with a higher variability than Laguna Manuela. Contrasting these results with optimum and lethal temperature values of bivalve species, it was possible to find the ideal site, for temperature, for culturing the species, taking into account the variability associated with large‐scale phenomena.
