Dear Jill:
I'm enclosing a progress report for our 1990 Sea Grant
sponsored research project on bay scallops in eelgrass meadows,
as you requested;.I'm sorry about the delay in sending you this
material, but we are still extremely busy with field work.
As you know, we are continuing this work through the end of
next year, 1992. It is unlikely that any publications will be
released until next year, but we often give local or national
presentations describing preliminary results, in order to keep
the public and scientific community informed of our progress.
I hope that you will find the report useful. I would
appreciate if it were not widely distributed, since it contains
preliminary, unpublished results. I'd like to take this
opportunity to thank the Board of Town Trustees for its
cooperation in allowing us to carry out this research work in
Southold Town waters.
With best wishes, ~/~_ .~

I) Study of scallop attachment behavior: Previous work conducted
in our laboratory using eelgrass blade mimics (Pohle et al.,
1991) showed that attachment

II) Determination of the influence of size on Dredatory mortality
of j~venile~baY scallops
i) Tetkering experiments: Hallock Bay, Southotd, Long Island,: was
selected as the study site; this bay supported abundant scallop
populations prior ~o "brown tide" events, but has experienced
limited natural recruitment during past years. Preliminary work
invo of the distribution and structure of
within this embayment. We determined
eel ~nd heights, surface sediment characteristics,
1
and the composition and abundance of dominant bivalve predators.
Size-specific predation pressure was determined by conducting
small-scale experiments with scallops of two different sizes (ca.
12 and 20 mm in shell height) tethered to the base of eelgrass
shoots. These experiments were carried out in July and again in
August 1990. Survival of the smaller size class was generally
extremely low, to < 1% within 5 d in both sandy and
(Fig. 2). Survival rate of 20 mm scallops
was : ~ higher than that of smaller scallops, but

scallops was greater for the 20 mm than 14 mm size classes, but
both suffered heavy losses in early fall (85 and 99% respectively
in two weeks; Fig. 3). Results of tethering and free planting
experiments suggest that t~e use of scallops greater than 20 ~m,
and/or earlier plantings w~ll increase the probability of success
of reseeding efforts aG the study site.
III) Study of m~d c~ab populations: Mud crabs, D. s~vi, are
numerically dominant predators of juvenile scallops in many
Island bays, including Hallock Bay, yet little is known about the
~oraging behavior of this species. We

Con,flus.ions
1) M~d crabs are the most abundant predator of juvenile bay
scallops, in Hallock Bay, Southold. Laboratory studies indicate
tha~t~only scallops greater than about 26 mm in shell height are
completely protected from mud crab predation.
2) There was a strong seasonal effect on predatory mortality of
free-planted scallops in Hallock Bay. Higher mortalities in late
summer/early fall may be associated with the appearance of blue
crabs, and/or increasing vulnerability to mud crabs, which grow
at a rate .of 3 mm carapace width per month.
3) Preliminary results suggest that use of scallops greater than
20 mm in height, and/or earlier plantings will increase the
probability of success of reseeding programs at this site.
Proposed research for 1991: Our research suggests that the
scallops' early life history can be divided into three stages: a)
a sedentary period at sizes less than ca. 10 mm, when scallops
3
exploit a spatial refuge from benthic predators by remaining ,.
firmly attached to eelgrass blades; the value of this refuge in
the presence of swimming predators, e.g. portunid crabs, will be
tested during the 199'1 field season; b) an intermediate,
transitional phase between ca. 10 and 30 mm, when scallops become
motile and relocate to the bottom. At this time predator
through increased locomotory activity
hypothesis will be tested during our 19~
'a third period at sizes greater than 30 r mu,
partial size refuge from benthic predators,
crabs.
Characterization of the vertical flow regime within eelgrass
be undertaken during year 2 of the project at the
sites, Hallock Bay, Napeague Bay and Northwest
Harbor, as well a~ more detaiied characterization of seasonal ~'-~'
variation intheabundance and compoSition of predators at these
locations. Fie~d predator exclusion experiments will be used to
de~erminethe i~f~uence of eelgrass density and height on
predation of scallops by three dominant crab species: spider
and mud crabs. Blooms o~ A~reococcus
~(brown tide) have reappearedat a number of our
~ durin~ the summer of 1991. We 'will therefore carry
out :s at locations in eastern Long Island which
rema the brown tide, e.g. Napeague a~dMontauk
Bays.
Personnel Involvement
Max Strieb, an M.S. student at MSRC, was appointed as Sea
Grant Scholar during 1990; he is expected to complete his thesis
by the fall' of 1991. Zaul Garcia-Esquivel, a Ph.D. student at
MSRC, participated in the project throughout 1990 and was
appointed as the Sea Grant Scholar on this project during the
spring of 1991. Susan Bauer, an M.S. student, will continue work
on this project as Sea Grant Scholar during 1991 and 1992.
Francisco Borrerro, was selected as the Sea Grant Postdoctoral
Fellow involved in years 2 and 3 of this project. A SD"NY
undergraduate student, Shino Tanikawa-Ogtesby, volunteered to
participate in the 1990 summer research work and completed one
credit of Research in Marine Sciences (MAR 487). This year she
has been soponsored to continue work on this project, and
selected as a'recipient of a 1991 URECA (Undergraduate Research
and Creative Activities) Summer Fellowship.
Industry~agencv participation and technology transfer
The P.I. collaborated with Chris Smith (Cornell Cooperative
Extension of Suffolk County Marine Program! in a study of
foraging behavior of scallop predators, using underwater video
camera techniques. This work was successfully completed in
Hallock Bay over a two week period in September 1990, and awaits
4
analysis. It was conducted under the auspices of a supplement to
this project (in the amount of $5,956) awarded by the New York
Sea Grant Institute.

RE: Research Project in Hallock Bay
Dear Ms. Bricelj:
Unfortunately, your correspondence reached this office after our
~ay meeting, and our formal permissions for your project may not
be ready until after our June 21, 1990 meeting.
In the interim, we only ask that you clearly mark each projsct
site with floats and possibly a small "sign" in cooperation with
the Bay Constable at 765-2600.
Kith respect to a mooring in Town Waters, you may find it more
elpful to have a berth at the Narrow River Marina. I spoke
with one of the owners, Mr. Fred Dacimo at 323-2660 and he
Qould be glad to support your efforts, if you just give him a
~all at the above number.
~tease notify this office at 765-1892 if you will not be needing
a mooring at the Town Facility.
If I can be of any further assistance in this matter, do not
hesitate to call.

Dear Sir:
Following your suggestion to Chris Smith, from Cornell
Cooperative Extension, I'm writing to provide you with background
information about our anticipated research needs, as they relate
to a project, sponsored by New York Sea Grant, that we would like
to undertake this summer~and fall in Hallock Bay.
The project is entitled "The influence of eelgrass cover on
growth and survival of post-settlement bay scallops, with a view
towards optimizing scallop transplants". A summary page
describing the scope and objectives of our proposed work, and a
schematic of our field experimental design are enclosed for your
information. We hope to initiate preliminary field work, using
seed scallops from a hatchery source, in the first or second week
of June.
As illustrated in the diagram, field experiments intended
are small in scale, in that bottom experimental plots are only
16 x 16 ft in size (5 x 5 m), and a maximum of 8 such plots would
be established in the bay at any one time within eelgrass beds.
We hope that results of our research will be useful to local
townships interested in bay scallop rehabilitation and stock
enhancement. Our work will be carried out in close cooperation
with Cornell Cooperative Extension, and results promptly
disseminated, e.g. at Long Island's Fishermen's Forum.
I'm also enclosing an application for mooring of our whaler
in Town waters. Please contact me if you require any additional
information. John Holzapfel, who collaborated with us in the
past, would be able to inform you further. Hoping that you will
be supportive of our work,
Sincerely,

project sponsored by the New York Sea Grant

settlement bay scallops, with a view towards optimizing scallop
transplants.

OBJECTIVES: Determine the requirements for successful bay scallop
(Argopecten irradians) reseeding efforts. Determine the influence
of:
scallop size and density,
planting,
elevated substrates as potential eelgrass
on post-settlement growth, vulnerability to benthic predators and
survivorship (recovery) of planted hatchery-reared scallops.
~ET~ODOLOG¥: Conduct summer and fall plantings of two scallop
size classes (about 10 and 20-25 mm in shell height) in
contrasting subtidal habitats of dense and sparse eelgrass.
Determine: a) growth rates and changes in density of seed
scallops following planting, b) size-specific attachment success
and temporal changes in vertical distribution of scallops on
eelgrass blades, as a measure of predator vulnerability, c)
emigration rate (dispersal) of scallops from a planting site, and
d) predation rates of scallops tethered in situ to eelgrass
blades; predator composition and abundance.
Bay scallop populations, which support valuable
~o~mercial and recreational fisheries on the Atlantic coast, have
~i~ffered a decline in a number of east coast states, including
SeW York State. Reseeding of ~nce productive scallop habitat with
hatchery-produced seed is a viable management option to promote
rapid recovery of depleted stocks. Reseeding attempts in Long
Island emba~ments have so far yielded encouraging but mixed
results, reflected in slow and site-specific recovery of stocks.
Our research will serve to identify conditions, habitat
requirements and methodology most conducive to the success of
future reseeding efforts and thus contribute to revitalization of
a traditional public access fishery.

5 X 5 m (16 x 16 ft) plots will be seeded with small (S = 10 mm
shell height) and large (L = 20-25 mm) scallops in both low and
high density eelgrass.
1 x 1 m (3 x 3 ft) plots of artificial eelgrass will also be
seeded with S and L scallops.
