Dear Jill:
I'm enclosing a progress report for our 1990 Sea Grant
s~onsored research project on ~ay 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 ~hat any publications will be
released until next year, but we often.give local or national
presentat~ons~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 wo~ld
appreciate if it were not widely distributed, since it contains
preliminary, unpublished results. I'd like to take this
opportunity to thank th~ Board of Town Trustees for its
cooperation in allowing us to carry out this research work in
Southold Town waters.
With best wishes, ~

II} Determination of the influence of size on predatory mortality
i) Tethering experiments: Hallock Bay, Southold, Long Island, was
seleeted as ith? study site; this bay supported abundant scallop
populations prior to '!brown tide" events, but has experienced
limited natural recruitment during past years. Preliminary work
invoived characterization of the distribution and structure of
eelg~ass, Z~stera marina, within this embayment. We determined
eelg~ass d~s and heights, surface sediment characteristics,
1
and the composition and abundance of dominant bivalve predators.
Size-specific predation pressure was determined by conducting
small-scal with scallops of two different sizes (ca.
12 and 20 mm height) tethered to the base of eelgrass
shoots. These ~ were carried out in July and again in
of the smaller size class was generally

two habitats within Hallock Bay which offered a contrast ~n

scallops was greater for the 20 rmm 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 suggestthat the u~e of scallops greater than 20 mm,
and/orearlier pla~tings will ~ncrease the probability of success
of reseeding efforts aG the study Site.

the size which can be preyed upon by mud
(11 to 30 mm in carapace width). These
with field-generated population data on
crabs and scallops will provide a measure of
~1 vulnerability of bay scallop juveniles to this
predator.
ConcluSions
1) Mud crabs are the most abundant predator of juvenile bay
scallops in Hallock Bay, Southold. Laboratory studies indicate
that 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
sub, er/early fall may be associated with the appearance of blue
crabs, ~nd/or increasing vulnerability to mud crabs, which grow
at a ra~e ~f 3 mm carapace width per ~onth.
3) Preliminary results suggest that use of scallops greater than
20 mm i~ 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
teste? during the 1991 field season; b) an intermediate,
transitional phase between ca. 10 a~d 30 mm, ~hen scallops become~
more~motile and. r~Iocate to the bottom. At this time predator
refuge may be achieved through increased locomotory activity
This hypothesis w~ll be tested during our

RE: Research Project in Halloek Bay
Dear Ms. Bricelj:
Unfortunately, your correspondence reached this office after our
May 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 project
~ite with floats and possibly a small "sign" in cooperation with
he BaY Constable at 765-2600.
With respect to a mooring in Town Waters, you may find it more
ielpful to have a berth at the Narrow River Marina. I spoke
ith one of the owners, Mr. Fred Dacimo at 323-2660 and he
ould be glad to support your efforts, if you just give him a
call at the above number.
Please 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 Cornetl
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 Halleck 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,

SUMMARY
project sponsored by the New York Sea Grant
The influence of eelgrass cover on survival and growth of post-
se%tlement bay scallops, with a view towards optimizing scallop
transplants.

OBJECTIVES: Determine the requirements for successful bay scallop
(Arqopecten irradians) reseeding efforts. Determine the influence
of:
scallop size and density,
~s density,
planting,
elevated substrates as potential eelgrass
post-settlement growth, vulnerability to benthic predators and
survivorship (recovery) of planted hatchery-reared scallops.
~ETHODOLOGY: Conduct summer and fall plantings of two scallop
size classes (about t0 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.
~TIONAT~: Bay scallop populations, which support v~luable
~mmercial and recreational fisheries on the Atlantic coast, have
~gffered~a decline in a number of east coast states, including
~W York State. Reseeding of ~nce productive scallop habitat with
hatchery-produced seed is a v~able management option to promote
rapid recovery of depleted stocks. Reseeding attempts in Long
Island embayments 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 mos~ conducive to the success of
f~ture reseeding efforts and thus contribute to revitalization of
a traditional public access fishery.

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