We compared the growth of the scallop Euuolu (Pecten) ziczuc (L.) in three situations whichpotentially could be used for commercial culture, in cages maintained in suspension, in cages on thebottom and in cages partly buried in a sediment bottom. The latter permitted the scallops to burythemselves as in their natural habitat. Throughout the 7-month study, growth, as measured by shelllength and muscle mass, was by far superior for scallops in the partly buried cages. Possible explanationsfor t...
