Description:Sea scallops are Virginia's most valuable landed seafood. The mid-Atlantic region has become an important sea scallop resource area, contributing more than 50% of the U.S. landings. Vessel operations in the mid-Atlantic have some difficult challenges during the summer months. The combination of warm water temperatures, hot weather and the tendency for extended trips, often exceeding 15 days, has the potential to create problems relative to product quality. Under such conditions, handling practices on deck and in the ice-hold have to be under fairly rigid control and there is little room for careless attitudes. As seafood quality and safety issues become increasingly important both in the marketplace and for regulatory considerations, the industry must constantly seek improvements in the handling, processing and transportation of seafood. Recommendations are offered here to improve the handling of scallops on vessels.
